The westegg inflation calculator may help give you a small hint as to what you could buy with 1/2 dollar in 1918. One half dollar would be able to buy 7.54 dollars worth of stuff today.
to add on: The silver in that 1918 1/2 dollar coin is worth 8.14 dollars. So basically this indicates silver is not only a way to protect against inflation but also to make money doing it.
As quoted:
"What cost $0.50 in 1918 would cost $7.54 in 2012.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2012 and 1918,
they would cost you $0.50 and $0.03respectively."
