No. JFK's picture is on the half dollar. The only 90% silver JFK halves were made in 1964. Halves dated 1965 to 1969 are 40% silver. Halves dated 1971 and later are copper-nickel and are only worth face value.
1964 was the only year JFK halves were made of 90% silver alloy. The composition was changed to 40% silver clad in 1965, and to copper-nickel clad in 1971. A 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar contains .3617 ounces of pure silver. Multiply this by the spot price of silver to get the bullion value of the coin.
