Well, I believe what they mean is that it is the 5th VAM designation of your coin's year (VAM designations are die varieties found in Morgan Dollars, some are worth a lot more than others) and the 63 I believe would refer to the coin's grade as Mint-state 63 (coins are graded on a scale from 1 being barely recognizable to 70 being absolute perfection) and PGS is the grading company that graded the coin.

How much is the value of a 1998 Kennedy half dollar?

Probably between 4 and 45 bucks,depending on its condition. Of course, if you have a professionally graded and encapsulated 1998-S in Mint State-68, PCGS lists it at $2500. The best thing to do is make the effort to show it to your local coin dealer and learn the facts. Or just be happy with the fact you have a coin that really is worth a bit more than its face value. Correction Circulation-grade half dollars made since 1971 are composed of the same copper-nickel "sandwich" metal as dimes and quarters, and have no extra value. 1998 proof halves were struck in both copper-nickel and silver; the former sell for 4 or 5 dollars while the silver ones as of 08/2009 retail anywhere from $12 to $650 depending on variety.
