The 1945 Liberty half dollar values depends again on condition of the coin. The mint mark and the type of coin is a huge factor in determining the value of this coin. However, I have seen many of these coins sell for under $5.00 dollars this year. And one of these coins sold for nearly $2,500.00 in 'Proof' condition at auction last year.


1985 liberty silver?

No such coin exists. The last silver coins minted for general circulation were the 90% silver coins last minted in 1964 and the 40% half dollars last minted in 1970. Silver Eagle bullion coins weren't minted until 1986, silver proof sets weren't introduced until 1992. Whatever your coin is, (and you didn't specify the denomination so it is impossible to tell what your coin might be) if it is a US coin, it is not silver.
