A standard U.S. silver half dollar, minted before 1965, contains 0.3617 ounces of silver. To make 1 ounce of silver, you would need approximately 2.76 silver halves. Since you can't have a fraction of a coin, you would need to use 3 silver half dollars to exceed one ounce of silver.
if a silver dollar is 90% silver it would take 1 and 1/10th silver dollars to make an ounce of silver
it takes nearly 3 - 90% silver half dollars to make an oz of silver IF IF IF the coins are not worn down.. the least worn are the franklin and Kennedy halves the most worn are the walking liberties halves.. it can take up to 6 of them[WL's] if they are really.really worn to make an oz of silver! be careful as Midas Resources,Ted Anderson,and Alex jones claim 2 half dollars equal 1 oz of silver, which is not correct.
One 1964 or earlier silver quarter= 0.1808 of an ounce of silver. So, it takes about 6 90% silver quarters to make one ounce of silver. 6 silver quarters= 1.0851 ounces.
To determine how many quarters make an ounce of silver, we first need to know the silver content of a quarter. A standard U.S. quarter (post-1964) contains no silver, while pre-1965 quarters are 90% silver, weighing approximately 6.25 grams. Since an ounce is about 28.35 grams, it would take roughly 4 pre-1965 quarters to equal one ounce of silver.
A quarter weighs 5.67 grams. So five clad quarters would equal one standard ounce.
if a silver dollar is 90% silver it would take 1 and 1/10th silver dollars to make an ounce of silver
One American Silver eagle dollar will make an ounce of silver. Only silver dollars dated 1935 and older contain silver. They contain about .77 troy ounces of silver. So about 1.3 Silver dollars 1935 and older would make an ounce of silver.
No Kennedy DOLLARS exist. But 7 Kennedy halves dated from 1965 to 1970 would have 1.0353oz of silver.
Silver half dollars have about 0.362 Troy oz. of silver in them, so 3 of them would be 1.086 Troy oz.

Each Kennedy half that was minted in '64 or earlier had .36 troy oz of silver meaning a little less than three would equal an ounce of silver which is running for 29.30 an ounce last i checked. <><><><> Half dollars made 1965-1970 contained only 40% silver, instead of the 90% of earlier coins, so it would take more coins. Half dollars made after 1970 contain no silver.
