What is the value of a 1986 silver Kennedy half dollar?

Answer 1

Depending on its exact grade, a proof 1986 "dollar" (actually a bullion piece sold for its silver content) is worth about $35.

If it's an uncirculated coin but not a proof it's basically worth its silver value of around $13.

Answer 2

If it has JFK's picture and the word "Liberty" on the front, it's an ordinary circulation coin worth exactly 50¢

If it has a picture of the Statue of Liberty and is in a plastic case from the Mint, it's a commemorative coin issued for the Statue's centennial, and is worth $3 or so if it's made of cupronickel, $9 if silver.

Answer 3

There is no 1993 Liberty Silver dollar. There was a silver bullion coin (called a Silver Eagle) minted in 1993 - depending on its condition, it may be worth slightly more than its 1 troy ounce of silver (as of October 10, 2007, 1 troy ounce of silver is valued at $13.62).

Answer 4

Sorry, no U.S. Mint issue coins exist with the dual date of 1886-1986. The only U.S. one dollar coins that are dated 1986 are a Statue of Liberty Centennial coin and the 1986 American Silver Eagle bullion coin. The only halves dated 1986 are a Kennedy and the Statue of Liberty Centennial half.

Answer 5

All circulation half-dollar dated 1971 and later were struck in copper-nickel.
