Why is the half dollar coin bigger than a dollar coin?
Dollar coins that are gold colored are smaller than silver colored half dollars because the ones that were really gold were always smaller than the silver halves. Silver dollars that were really silver were bigger than the halves.MoreAt one time US coins contained roughly their face value in silver, so their sizes were proportional. A quarter had about 25¢ worth of silver, a half contained 50¢ worth so it was twice as big, and a dollar was 4 times as big.When silver was removed from coins in the 1960s there was no longer a need to keep sizes proportional because there was no longer any precious metal in coins. However the same sizes were kept so that millions of vending machines and coin sorters didn't have to be retrofitted.On the other hand dollar coins hadn't been made since 1935 so there wasn't any problem with vending machines. When the Mint started making new dollars in 1971 they first tried to keep the old size, but the coins were too big to be practical. In 1979 a new smaller 26.5 mm size was adopted.Other countries that have adopted completely new coinage systems no longer use just sizes to tell coins apart. For example in Europe, coins are made of different metals or even have two separate metals in them so that each one is distinctive regardless of size.

What about silver American coins from 1964 and earlier?
What about them? If you're interested in the silver content .77344 ounces for a Silver dollar, .36169 for a Half dollar, .18084 for a quarter, .07234 for a dime, and .05626 for silver nickels (only minted from 1942-1945, they can be identified by a large mintmark or letter above the Monticello building on the reverse). These silver amounts do change slightly for older coins, but generally if you are selling a coin at melt it is going to fall into these categories. If you're interested in which coins contained silver, I'll tell you: Three cent pieces from 1851/1873 (not to be confused with nickel three cent pieces from 1865-1889, if it has a big star it's silver, if it has Liberty's head and "III" it's nickel). All half dimes (1794-1873), some Jefferson nickels (1942-1945 like I mentioned earlier), dimes from 1796-1964, all twenty cent coins (1875-1878) quarters from 1796-1964, half dollars from 1794-1964 (Kennedy half dollars from 1965-1970 contain 40% silver, but after 1970 there is no silver), dollar coins from 1794-1935. If you're interested in where to find this coins, try searching through bank rolls. They are getting increasingly rare, but it is still possible to find silver nickels, dimes, quarters and halves. If you're interested in buying them, find a local coin dealer or pawn shop or antique shop etc. Chances are they will be able to sell you a large back of worn silver coins for very close to melt price. If you're interested in selling them, again find a coin dealer. A good, reputable dealer will be able to look at your coins and tell you exactly what you have and what they are worth to him or her. If you're interested in giving them away, I'll take 'em.
