3 well equal a little more than a ounce of silver.
All half dollars made in 64 or earlier have .36169oz of silver. So 3 will equal a little more than an ounce.
3 1964 Kennedy half's equal a little more than 1 ounce of silver. For coins dated from 1965 to 1970, 7 of them will equal a little more than 1 ounce.

No Kennedy DOLLARS exist. But 7 Kennedy halves dated from 1965 to 1970 would have 1.0353oz of silver.
No U.S. coins were pure silver - it's too soft. 10% copper was added to make them hard enough to resist wear.
it takes nearly 3 - 90% silver half dollars to make an oz of silver IF IF IF the coins are not worn down.. the least worn are the franklin and Kennedy halves the most worn are the walking liberties halves.. it can take up to 6 of them[WL's] if they are really.really worn to make an oz of silver! be careful as Midas Resources,Ted Anderson,and Alex jones claim 2 half dollars equal 1 oz of silver, which is not correct.
No, the last time silver was in a Kennedy half dollar was 1970 when it was 40% silver. No 1971 or 1972 half dollars contain any silver. The US mint wouldn't make silver proof sets until 1992. So there are a few reasons why your 1972 half seems to be silver, the most common reason is plating, I've seen many Kennedy halves, gold, silver and even chrome plated. The other possibility is an error where the coin was struck on an incorrect blank, but there are very few errors of that type. Without seeing your coin I can't tell you for certain why your coin seems to be silver, but the US mint didn't make silver halves in 1972.
Silver half dollars have about 0.362 Troy oz. of silver in them, so 3 of them would be 1.086 Troy oz.
Half dollars dated 1965-69 were struck in silver-clad metal, 80% silver on the outside and 20% silver in the core. The rest was copper, for an overall composition of 40% silver.
The U.S. didn't make any half dollars dated 1804.
Each Kennedy half that was minted in '64 or earlier had .36 troy oz of silver meaning a little less than three would equal an ounce of silver which is running for 29.30 an ounce last i checked. <><><><> Half dollars made 1965-1970 contained only 40% silver, instead of the 90% of earlier coins, so it would take more coins. Half dollars made after 1970 contain no silver.
Gold plating adds no value to the coin. However, some Kennedy half-dollars are silver, ones dated 1964 are 90% silver and ones from 1965-1970 are 40% silver, if your coin is one of those, it has value from the silver content used to make the coin. If your coin is dated 1971 or later, it is worth 50 cents.
A half, a quarter, 27, 434, one, etc. There is no set weight for silver bars and they range in size from a gram or less (about 1/25th of a silver dollar) all the way to multiple kilograms (several hundred silver dollars).
