What is the value of a 1988 Reagan gold half dollar coin?

Answer 1

It is a novelty piece made privately and is not a mint issue. The Mint has never struck half dollars in gold or a gold-colored metal. It might retail for a few dollars as a curiosity but from a coin collector's standpoint it's an altered coin and has no extra value,

Answer 3

This question shows up a lot. The U.S. Mint has never struck a Kennedy half dollar of any date in gold. The coins have been gold plated by different so-called "Collectors Society's" and sold to the public for a profit. They have no numismatic collectible value at all.

Answer 4

This would be an alteration made by some private company, not a product of the US Mint, and have no numismatic value. Novelty value may be a dollar or two.

Answer 5

The gold plating adds nothing to the value, it's just a half dollar.

Answer 6

The plating adds nothing to the value of 50 cents. This was NOT done by the U.S. Mint and has no numismatic value at all. It may be worth more to someone that wants it.

Answer 7

A regular 1989 Kennedy half is worth 50 cents. The gold-plating was done by someone other than the U.S. Mint, so it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
