Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 10/2010:

Very worn condition - $60

Moderately worn - $86

Slightly worn - $138

Almost no wear - $466

Uncirculated - $1,140 depending on quality

Approximately 20 proof half dollars were struck at the New Orleans Mint that year. They carry an "O" mint mark and are extremely rare so they're unlikely to show up in private hands today.

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available, but may vary due to market fluctuations. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
