That would be really interesting because the first Franklin halves weren't struck until 1948.

If you have a 1963 half, it's worth about $6 for its metal content.

If you have something else please post a new question with more details to help ID it. Please don't assume anything about the design because confusion can make it more difficult to ID.

Depending on the condition, it could be worth <7-20 US dollars. It is for sure worth 36% of an ounce of silver.
