Why does the moon look different as it orbits around the earth?
The moon looks different as it orbits the earth because different portions of it are lit up by the sun and visible to the earth. Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, and half is always facing earth, and when those two halves overlap it creates the portion visible to us.

What is a 1964 Kennedy half dollar made of?
All 1964 JFK halves were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. 1964 was the only year for that composition. 1965-70 halves were struck in a 40%-silver clad composition. All circulating halves dated 1971 and later have no silver; they're made of the same copper-nickel "sandwich" metal used for dimes and quarters.
1977 Kennedy half dollar that rings like it has silver in it could this be true?
No 1977 halves were struck in silver. It's also very difficult to tell by a coin's ring because clad coins are frequently irregular internally due to thickness differences that occur as the clad stock is rolled out. Look at the coin's edge. If it's copper-colored like the edge of a quarter or dime, you have an ordinary copper-nickel circulation half that's worth face value.
Why is there a 1916 Mercury Dime facing right and not left?
It's not a Mercury dime, it's a "Barber" dime, named for its designer Charles Barber. Both Mercury and Barber dimes were struck in 1916. To provide some history, up till the early 20th century the Mint didn't always make design changes on calendar anniversaries. If a new design was to be issued, the old one might be struck until enough coins with the new one were available, at which time the changeover happened. For example the Lincoln cent wasn't issued until mid-1909 and up till that point Indian head cents with the same date were minted. 1916 turned out to be a transitional year. Before that time silver coins often all carried the same front design, usually a representation of Miss Liberty. Designs on all 3 or 4 denominations were changed at once - e.g. the Barber design was simultaneously adopted for dimes, quarters, and halves in 1892. By the early 20th century there was a lot of interest in enhancing coin designs, driven in part by Teddy Roosevelt's interest in numismatic art. The Mint agreed to put different designs on each denomination and competitions were held for the new coins. Barber's designs continued to be used for the first part of 1916, but later in the year dimes, quarters, and halves had all received makeovers and were struck with their new artwork.
