Check the coin's edge. If it's copper colored, it's made of cupronickel, the same as dimes and quarters. In this case it's worth face value to $1.25.

If the edge is grayish, the coin is made of 40% silver and is worth about $7 for its metal content.

What is the value of a Kennedy dollar coin?

If it has a double eagle on the back around 8 dollars depending on the price per ounce of silver. JFK is on the half dollar, not the dollar.

Kennedy halves dated 1964 are 90% silver and are worth about $6, more or less depending on the spot price of silver. 1965-1969 are 40% silver and are worth $2.50 or so. 1971-present are copper-nickel and are worth only 50 cents.
