1965  -­  1970  Silver  Kennedy  Half  Dollar  Value  (United  States)

U.S.  MINT  SPECIFICATIONS

Denomination: $0.50

Obverse  Image: John  F.  Kennedy,  35th  President  of  the  United  States.

Reverse  Image: Eagle  holding  an  olive  branch  (peace)  and  arrows  (strength).  The  thirteen  stripes  represent  the  13  colonies.  The  horizontal  bar  across  thetop  represents  Congress  forming  one  government  from  many.  Fifty  stars  representing  the  fifty  states  encircle  the  eagle.  [  ?  ]

Metal  Composition: 40%  silver,  60%  copper

Total  Weight: 11.5  grams

Comments: Only  two  months  after  Kennedy's  assassination  on  November  22,  1963,  the  first  Kennedy  Half  Dollars  were  struck  at  the  mint.  [  ?  ]

     

 CALCULATING  TODAY'S  MELT  VALUE  (USD)

Using  the  latest  metal  prices  and  the  specifications  above,  these  are  the  numbers  required  to  calculate  melt  value:  

 $20.10    = silver  price  /  ounce  on  Jan  16,  2014..40    = silver  %

 $3.3349    = copper  price  /  pound  on  Jan  16,  2014..60    = copper  %11.5    = total  weight  in  grams

.0321507466    = ounce/gram  conversion  factor.00220462262    = pound/gram  conversion  factor  (see  note  directly  below)

The  CME  uses  pounds  to  price  copper  and  that  means  we  need  to  multiply  the  metal  price  by  .00220462262  to  make  theconversion  to  grams.  The  silver  price  is  based  in  troy  ounces  and  that  means  we  need  to  multiply  the  metal  price  by.0321507466  to  make  the  conversion  to  grams.

1.  Calculate  40%  silver  value  :

       (20.10  ×  .0321507466  ×  11.5  ×  .40)    =    $2.9726580306  

$2.9726  is  the  rounded  silver  value  for  the  1965-­1970  silver  Kennedy  half  dollar  on  January  16,  2014.  This  is  usually  the  valueused  by  coin  dealers  when  selling  these  coins  at  melt  value.  However,  the  total  melt  value  is  continued  below.

2.  Calculate  60%  copper  value  :

       (3.3349  ×  .00220462262  ×  11.5  ×  .60)    =    $0.0507296  

3.  Add  the  two  together  :

       $2.9726580306  +  $0.0507296  =  $3.0233876306

$3.0233876306  is  the  total  melt  value  for  the  1965-­1970  silver  Kennedy  half  dollar  on  January  16,  2014.

MINTAGE  AND  COLLECTIBLE  VALUE  (USD)

The  "Year"  column  lists  the  year  and  mint  mark  on  the  coin  -­-­  D  is  for  Denver,  S  is  for  San  Francisco,  and  P  is  for  Philadelphia.  A  coin  without  a  mint  markmeans  it  was  also  minted  in  Philadelphia.  The  "Mintage"  column  is  the  number  of  coins  struck  and  released  by  the  U.S.  Mint.  The  "Numismatic  Value  Range"column  represents  what  people  typically  pay  for  that  type  of  coin  (usually  a  very  wide  price  range  depending  on  the  condition).

EBAY  AUCTIONS  -­  SILVER  KENNEDY  HALF  DOLLARS  ONLY  (40%)

I  believe  that  the  old  saying,  "A  coin  is  only  worth  what  someone  will  pay  for  it,"  is  absolutely  true.  I  prefer  eBay  because  it  displays  what  people  are  actuallypaying  for  coins.  Monthly  coin  price  magazines  and  online  price  lists  may  not  reflect  current  market  conditions  because  they  don't  demonstrate  what  peopleare  actually  willing  to  pay.
