How many ounces of silver in a half dollar?
Presently there is no silver in the US half dollar. Until 1964 dimes, quarters and half dollars (and earlier dollars) contained 900/1000 (.900) Silver. In 1964 there were 11.25 grams of silver in a half dollar which is about 0.3620 troy ounces of silver. (Note that a troy ounce used for precious metals is about 31.1034 grams whereas a avoirdupois ounce is about 28.4 grams and a troy pound is 12 troy ounces rather than 16). After 1964 silver was removed from dimes and quarters (except special sets of quarters) and in the half dollar the silver was reduced to 4.60 grams (1965-1970). This was known as "clad" halves because the outside was .800 silver and the inside .210. After 1970 silver was removed from all regular issue US coinage. There was also a clad special issue of the 1776-1976 bicentennial half. Sterling silver is .925 and pure is considered at least .999.Presently there is no silver in the US half dollar.

What is the best way to sell old coins?
It depends how much you have and what type of coins you have. Are they collector coins (as in, high grades, key dates, rare coins) or are they junk silver coins (as in, worn silver quarters from the 40s, silver dimes from the 50s, etc.). If they are collector coins, it is better to sell to a reputable dealer. If they are junk silver coins craigslist and eBay are your friends, but dealers and jewelery stores will usually buy them too. Don't go to places like "Cash 4 Gold" or other "Hotel Lobby" sellers. They will often times take 50% or more off the true value of your coins.
