What is the value of a gold plated john f Kennedy half dollar?

Answer 1

Gold plated coins are a promotional item, have no collector value, and don't receive an additional market premium for being plated. Note that gold plating coins for advertising, promotions and high school electrolysis experiments have been going on for some time.

Answer 2

That's not an official mint product. You most likely have -

> a collector's piece struck specially in gold, in which case it would be worth the current spot price for 14K gold, or

> if it's otherwise identical to a standard half dollar, it's just an ordinary cupronickel coin that has been gold plated. In that case here would only be at most a few dollars worth of gold in the plating, not enough to try to recover.

MoreIt's very unlikely that the coin is made entirely of 14K gold. It's very common for companies to gold-plate standard US Coins and sell them as special collectibles. However there is not a large secondary market for these items so unless you can find a niche collector who's interested, they tend to be worth only the value of the underlying coin. For Kennedy halves, that depends on its date because they used 3 different metals: 90% silver for 1964 coins only, 40% silver for 1965-70, and copper-nickel since then.

Answer 4
