A lot of JFK halves have been privately plated and sold at high markups as "collectibles". Unfortunately 1971 and later halves are copper-nickel, not silver so the underlying coin is only worth 50 cents and has no real collectible value. The plating means it's an altered coin and would cost more to remove than what it's worth.
All circulating half dollars struck since 1971 are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents. A cupronickel proof version in its original packaging might retail for a dollar or so.

No Kennedy halves have ever been "lost". They're the figment of a advertising agent's imagination, trying to hype private sales. This is an attempt to play off the fact that in some recent years halves have only been struck for purchase by collectors, so they're "lost" to circulation. If you have a half dated 2002 or later in its original packaging from the Mint, it might be worth a dollar or so at retail. A dealer is unlikely to pay much more than face value though.
