Not at all. Remember, at one time the sizes of coins were proportional to their values so a Morgan dollar is (essentially) twice the size of a Kennedy half dollar.
Specifically, Morgan dollars are 38 mm in diameter and weigh 26.7 gm when new. JFK halves are 30 mm in diameter and weigh anywhere from 11.34 gm to 12.5 gm depending on their metal composition.
No, a silver dollar does not equal a half dollar. Instead, in the USA it equals a full dollar.
All circulating Kennedy halves dated 1971 and later are only worth 50 cents. Feel free to spend it. Regardless of rumors and legends, there has been no silver in circulating half dollars since 1971. They're made of the same copper-nickel alloys used in dimes and quarters.
There is no true Standing Liberty half dollar. They are properly called Walking Liberty half dollars. But if you are asked to buy a Standing Liberty half dollar you can be safe to assume that it is a Walking Liberty. Review the Standing Liberty quarter and see that the figure is in an obvious 'standing' stance whereas the Walking Liberty appears to have motion.
If you found it in circulation it's only worth 50¢. All circulating halves made since 1971 are copper-nickel, not silver. An uncirculated 2004-P or 2004-D half might sell for around a dollar or two, unless it's a very high-quality coin (MS-65 or above); as of 03/2010 these can retail for as much as $35. A copper-nickel proof (2004-S) sells for $5-18, and a silver "Prestige" proof is in the same price range.
Half of the money that you have.
All Kennedy halves have the same design. Obviously JFK's image is on the obverse side. The reverse side has a stylized version of the Presidential Seal.
All circulating half dollars dated 1971 and later are made of copper-nickel, using the same "sandwich" composition as dimes and quarters.

4-22-11>> The 1967 Kennedy half is a 40% silver coin and is very common, most are valued just for the silver, about $6.00. NOTE: All Kennedy halves from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver and circulated coins have the same values.
All Morgan dollars look the same, they just have different dates and mintmarks. On your browser type in "Morgan dollar" and click on images. This will bring up a lot of pics.
It depends what year the half dollar was made. 1964 - 12.5 g 1965-1970 - 11.5 g 1971 to now - 11.34 g
Regardless of the year the mintmark is in the same place on all Morgan silver dollars, it's on the reverse just above the letters DO in dollar. If it does not have a mintmark it was coined in Philadelphia no Morgan dollar has a "P" mintmark.

Miss Liberty on the front The American Eagle on the back The same images are on all dates of Morgan dollars.
All Morgan dollars (named for their designer George T. Morgan) have the same reverse image: an eagle with outstretched wings, surrounded by a wreath, the words In God We Trust, United States of America, and One Dollar.
As opposed to fake silver, LOL? All 1971 and later circulation-strike half dollars are made of the same copper-nickel clad metal used in dimes and quarters. They have no extra value.
It looks the same as all the other Morgan dollars.
