Are half dollars dated before 1969 worth anything?
Actually, not just before 1969 but any half dollar dated up to 1970 contains silver so it's definitely worth more than face value. Halves dated 1965 to 1970 were made from 40% silver so they're worth about 1/7 the current price of an ounce of silver. Except for 1970 coins that were sold only to collectors, these dates don't generally have any extra collector value. Halves dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver so they're worth about 1/3 the price of an ounce of silver at a minimum. Older dates (1940 and before) very often are worth even more to collectors but you need to know their specific dates and mint marks.

How much are penny collections dated 1940 till now but I am missing the 1940 and 1943 coins but have at least one coin for each date?
There are no rare dates in that collection. The 1940-42 coins might be worth around 5 cents or so. The 1943 steel cents are worth 10 cents on average. Wheat cents 1944-58 are worth around 3 cents each. Lincoln Memorial cents 1959-81 are worth 2 cents for their copper. In 1982, pennies started being made out of zinc instead of copper, so everything since then is only worth face value.

What are feather back pennys worth?
These are known as wheat back pennies. The "feathers" are actually wheat ears. These are fairly common coins and can be acquired in circulation. Pennies made before the 1940s are generally the ones that are worth more. These are worth maybe 7-12 cents depending on condition, date, and mintmark. Cents made from 1940-1958 are usually only worth 3-9 cents in circulated condition. The value rises for uncirculated coins but it varies a lot by the rarity.
