Answer1960 Franklin-Liberty Bell half dollar; As of 09/2008, about $7 in average circulated condition; proof coins are worth $8 to $30 depending on how well-struck they are.As of 8-20-2011 The melt value of the coin is around fifteen dollars(silver was at 42$,so this wont be accurate for long).
AnswerThe price depends on how worn it is and how much silver is selling for. At $18/oz, a half dollar dated 1960 contains about $7 worth of silver.Note that halves from 1965 to 1969 contain only about $3 worth of silver at that price, and halves from 1971 to today have no silver so they're only worth 50¢
