A 2002-S silver proof Kennedy has an average retail value of $18.00.
Unless it's a proof or uncirculated coin, it has no added value. All circulation halves made since 1971 are copper-nickel, not silver.
Its value is based on the ounce of silver it contains, plus a small premium. As of 6/2012 you could get about $30 for it. Current silver prices can be seen at www.kitco.com
The coin isn't actually a dollar. It's a "silver eagle" containing 1 oz of pure silver and sold to collectors and investors. The $1 denomination is artificial. Its actual value changes with the price of silver bullion; as of 02/2010 it sells for about $17-18.
A 2002 American eagle Bullion Silver Dollar was minted only at West Point, thereby the coin only carries the mint mark of "W." In uncirculated condition, its value depends on the current price of 1 oz of silver; if the coin is in a proof state, the value is roughly double that. Currently silver is worth $32 per ounce. So they are worth about 32 dollars.

A 2002 silver eagle is worth whatever one ounce of silver is worth. At the time of writing, an ounce of silver is worth about $22 and a silver eagle would be worth the same. However, silver fluctuates in price on a minute to minute basis.
The silver one dollar American Buffalo coins are all dated 2001. This is the only year the U.S. Mint made this coin. You may have a 1 ounce "Silver Round" dated 2002 made to look like the official coin but it is not a U.S. Mint product. Take it to a local buyer of scrap gold & silver for an idea of value.
The reverse side should state that it contains 1 oz of .999 fine silver. With the current price of silver around $14 per oz., that's its value.
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.
Your coin is actually a bullion piece containing 1 oz of "999 fine" silver, i.e. 999/1000 pure metal. As such its value is determined by the current spot price of silver which changes daily. The "one dollar" denomination is artificial. The coin is sold as an investment or collector piece and isn't used for spending.
It's worth one dollar.
