Is an American 1972 fifty cent piece worth fifty cents?

Answer 1

Any American coinage is worth the face value minted on it however different other factors may vary it's worth and to whom it is valueable.

Bluntly a 1972 fifty cents piece is worth 50 cents.

But the coin does have value to precious metal investors, if it has silver in it which I believe no 1972 5o cent piece (US) did.

To a coin collector a numismatist, depending upon the condition and the mint where the coin was minted would affect the value. The value of the coin will flunctuate over time as markets predict its worth for metal value and numismatic value.

But it is always worth at least 50 cents US.
