If it has no mint mark or a "D" above the dates, it's made of copper-nickel rather than silver and has no added value unless it's in a very high uncirculated grade.

If it has an S mint mark, it's a 40% silver collector's coin. If in its original Mint packaging it could be worth about $3.00 as of 10/2009

Although the Bicentennial design was only used for one year on these Kennedy halves, the Mint actually produced them for two years -- 1975 & 1976 -- which is why there are no half dollars dated 1975. Over 520 million of these coins were made for circulation -- much higher than for any other year of this series. Therefore they are considered common.

"E Pluribus Unum", "LIBERTY"

All modern U.S. coins have those mottoes so that's not a distinguishing piece of information.

Proof or uncirculated 40% silver versions may be worth $5-6 retail. Proof in CN probably about the same. High-end uncirculated CN versions a couple dollars. Anything else, fifty cents. There are still hundreds of millions in circulation.
None of the bicentennial coins made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
