What is a double headed 1971 Kennedy half dollar worth?

Answer 1

If you search this site a bit you'll find hundreds of questions about so-called "double-headed" coins. They're all fakes, novelty or "trick" items made by cutting 2 coins in half and swapping the sides. They generally have no interest to coin collectors.

The good news is that if your "coin" was made from 2 genuine 1964 JFK half dollars it has maybe 6 or 7 bucks worth of silver in it.

If either date is later it's worth less than that amount because 1965-69 halves are only 40% silver. and 1971-today are made of cupro-nickel.

Answer 2

Kennedy half dollars from 1965 to 1969 are 40% silver with a value of $1.25

Answer 3

A 1964 Kennedy half dollar is 90% silver, currently worth about $10. 1965-70 are 40% silver, worth around $4. Anything 1971-present is 50 cents.

Answer 4

Double headed novelty and Magician's coins have no numismatic value, but depending on the denomination an quality most are under $10.00

Answer 5

The 1964 Kennedy is very common, unless it's a super high grade coin the value is just for the silver, about $12.50
