1965

Minor correctionJFK halves were never pure silver. All "silver" US Coins dated 1964 and earlier were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper.

1965-1970 halves were struck in 40% silver.

1971 and later halves are made of copper-nickel and have no extra value.

They are not silver. Kennedy half dollars stopped being silver in 1970, all 1971 dated coins are copper-nickel and only worth 50 cents. There wasn't even a 1971 half dollar in silver for collectors. All 1971 half dollars are worth only 50 cents unless in a mint set.


What is the value of a 1972 and 1977 half dollar coin with John F. Kennedy on it?

All Half-Dollars from 1964 to date have JFK on them. Your coins are nothing special, just spend them. Most coins dated 1964 and earlier contain silver, which is worth about $31 per ounce. So collect a bunch of silver coins, then take them to a coin dealer, you should get about 10 to 1 exchange. For example a half dollar is worth $5 for the silver content.

How much is a silver 1965 Ben Franklin fifty cent piece worth?

No Such CoinThere are no such coins, except perhaps as counterfeits or reproductions (and there are none of the latter of which I'm aware), or perhaps as a coin issued by another country, or a medallion. The half-dollar coin bore the image of John F. Kennedy in 1964, which was also the last year it was made of 90% silver. From 1965 to 1970, the Kennedy half-dollar was "silver clad," or roughly 40% silver overall.
