What is the value of a 1962 US half dollar?

Answer 1

1962 is a common date for Franklin Half Dollars. If it's been in circulation its value depends only on the silver it contains:

Circulated values as of 03/2010:

Very worn condition - $7.13

Moderately worn - $7.36

Slightly worn - $7.48

Almost no wear - $7.90

If the coin is uncirculated, look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter just above the Liberty Bell. It may be blank or there may be a D.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values

No mint mark (Philadelphia): $8.52 to $82.50 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver): $8.52 to $106.25
