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.
Presumably you refer to the bronze medallions designed and produced by 13 year old Daniel Hendy to help assist the farming families effected by the 2001 British "Foot and Mouth" outbreak. The medallions were originally sold for £6 GBP each, a total quantity of 1,000 medallions. There appears to be no information available on these medallions, but since there were only 1,000 made, I suggest that they are collectible and have some value beyond their purchase price. A reputable coin dealer may be able to give a valuation.
Franklin Half dollars are common coins. Because of this and the high price of silver, circulated coins are valued slightly above the silver content of the coin about $14.00.
One full set (100) of Franklin mint history of flight coins sold at auction for $2350. Another set offered on eBay apparently did not sell at $1695. Of course the price depends on condition and on silver price at the moment. In the case of these coins, price also depends on whether they are in their beautiful Franklin binder, and whether they are accompanied with the separate factbook.
Not gold, just gold-plated. That means they're considered to be altered coins. However Franklin halves were struck in 90% silver so you could at least sell them for their silver content, around $4.00 to $5.00 depending on the current price of silver.
