In 1950, U.S. coins that contained silver included dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Specifically, dimes and quarters made during this time contained 90% silver, while half dollars also contained 90% silver until 1964. The only exceptions were the silver dollars, which contained 90% silver as well. Overall, the amount of silver in these coins varies depending on the denomination: for example, a 1950 quarter contains about 0.18 troy ounces of silver.

1950 silver dollar worth?

There was no US silver dollar minted in 1950. If you mean a half dollar, it would be worth at least its value in silver which as of writing is about $7.70 but it would be worth more in better condition. As with all old coins, cleaning harms the value.


What different coins did they use in 1950?

It would depend on who you refer to as "they", but assuming you refer to British coins, British coins circulating in 1950 would include - Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence)(cupro-nickel) Florin (Two Shillings)(cupro-nickel) Shilling (cupro-nickel) Sixpence (cupro-nickel) Threepence (nickel-brass) Penny (bronze) Halfpenny (bronze) Farthing (bronze) The last silver coins with a 50% silver content were issued in 1946, so there may have been a few of them still in circulation in 1950. Crown (Five Shilling) coins, although legal tender, were only minted for special commemorative occasions in the 20th century and were not seen much in circulation.
