NO, the US Mint has NEVER made a silver one cent coin. It's common to find penny's that have been plated with silver, chrome and even gold, but they have NO COLLECTIBLE value at all.

The coin is 40% silver and has a value of about $2.00 only for the silver.
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.
1973 Denver and Philadelphia half dollars were made out of copper-nickel rather than silver. The last circulating halves to contain any silver were the 40%-silver clad coins struck from 1965 to 1969. Please see the Related Question for more information.
Sorry! The US mint never made solid silver coins. It would be too hard.

The simple answer is: The 1964 issues are 90% silver, 1965-1969 are 40% silver and the 1970-D but this coin was not released for circulation. These are the only issues that have any silver and made for general circulation.

No. Kennedy halves were made of 40% silver between 1965 and 1970 (90% silver in 1964) and do not show the copper core that halves issued from 1971 onward have.

Maybe $3 on eBay, and it's not made of silver.
Dwight D. Eisenhower. The coin is actually made of copper-nickel, not silver.
No U.S. coin dated 1967 will have a mintmark, they were not used from 1965-1967.
The value of a 1969 D Kennedy half dollar can vary depending on its condition, but typically it is worth around face value or slightly more to a collector. If it is in uncirculated condition or has any special features, it may be worth more to a collector.
Kennedy half dollar coins dated 1965 through 1970 weigh 11.5 grams and are 40% silver - they thus contain 0.1479 troy ounces of silver.
