Please check your coin again. It's either not 1961, not JFK, or not a dollar.

> In 1961 Kennedy was (a) very much alive and (b) had just taken office so his image couldn't legally be on a coin.

> The US didn't make any $1 coins from 1936 to 1970 inclusive.

> Half dollars carried a picture of Benjamin Franklin from 1948 to 1963.

> JFK's picture was put on the half in 1964 following the assassination in November 1963.

What is a 1961 Kennedy silver half dollar worth?

Since Kennedy half dollars weren't minted until 1964, a 1963 coin would be quite extraordinary. Both 1963 Franklin half dollars and 1964 Kennedy half dollars are composed of 90% silver and weigh about 0.36 troy ounces. With silver at $13.51 (as of 9/27/07), that equates to a "melt value" of $4.86. Neither of the abovementioned coins are rare, so unless they were uncirculated or better, neither would be worth much more than that.
