Franklin halves were minted from 1948 to 1963, so a 1969 Franklin coin would be REALLY unusual ... in fact, impossible.If you have a JFK 50¢ piece with that date, it's made of 40% silver and is worth about $2.50 to $2.75 depending on the price of silver bullion.

Clad coins are regular coins, all US dimes, quarters, half's and dollars made since 1965 to date are "clad". Each coin has a center core of pure copper and a layer of copper-nickel or silver on both sides of the coins. The only coins made for circulation after 1965 that had any silver were the 1965 to 1969 Kennedy half dollars but they are 40% "silver clad" coins.
