1964 is the most common year for silver half dollars. Even in uncirculated condition (unless it is an absolutely flawless gem), its value is based only on the silver it contains, about 0.36 times the current price of silver. Unfortunately, it is so common and so widely saved it is worth very little more as a collectible, so many have been melted or are being traded as bullion coins.
You can't get very much more for uncirculated ones unless they are certified MS-66 or higher.
* For 2011, the silver value of the coin was between $11 and $13 USD.

Metal composition1964 was the only year that JFK halves were made from 90% silver / 10% copper alloy. From 1965 to 1969 they were made of a "debased" silver clad 3-layer composition that worked out to 40% silver, 60% copper.By 1971 the price of silver had gone up so much that the composition was again changed to the same copper-nickel clad metal used for dimes and quarters. That means any circulation-issue half dollar dated 1971 or later is only worth 50 cents, so there's no reason to hang onto one of those if you get it in change.
1964 is the first year of issue and the only year it was struck in 90% silver. The coins are very common. Even uncirculated coins are valued only for the silver they contain, about $11.00
