Are fifty cent coins worth anything?

Answer 1

The Mint does not issue "Limited Edition" coins. Yours was almost certainly repackaged by a private company and sold as a collectible or keepsake.

Assuming the coin is in near-uncirculated condition, it's worth around $8 whether it's in a special package or not.

Answer 2

The U.S. did not make gold half dollars. Your coin has been plated for use in jewelry or something similar.

The good news is that the underlying silver is worth $6-7. The bad news is that if the coin has a D mint mark on the back it was worth a lot more until it was plated, which makes it an altered and thus less-desirable coin.

Answer 3

Depending on which country minted them they're all worth at least 50 cents of course.

Older US, Canadian, and Australian 50¢ coins may be made of silver so they would be worth more for their metal content; very old ones can be worth more as collectibles as well.

Answer 4

Depends on the 50 cent coin. These made from 1971 to present are worth only face value where as those from 1965 through 1969 are 40% silver and those made in 1964 and before are made of 90% silver, and therefore worth well over face value

Answer 5

Yes, fifty cent coins can have value. In some countries, they are still in circulation as legal tender while in others they may be collectible depending on their condition, rarity, and mint year. You may want to check with a coin dealer or collector to determine the specific value of the fifty cent coin you have.

Answer 6

seriously...50 cents... 1964 (90% silver) - about $6 as of 06/2009 1965-69 (40% silver) - about $2.50 as of 06/2009 1971-present (copper-nickel) - no added value.
