Question
Hi,

I have several half dollar coins that I would like to consider selling.  I know very little about coins and I am looking for a value suggestions. I have (20) Walking Lady dating: 1920,1933,1939,1941,1942(5),1943(3),1944(4),1945(3),1946 Also, where would I find if it has a (mint letter)?

I also have a set of (18)Ben Franklin halfs: 1950(2),1953,1954,1957(2),1958,1959,1961(3),1962(5),1963(2)

Also, I have a set of (50) Kennedy halfs ranging in dates from 1964 - 1998.

I really appreciate any information you can give me.

Thanks,
Anita

Answer
Anita, it all depends upon the coins conditions.  in circulated condition the dates you have are all very common and sell for about $3-4 each.  If they are in Mint State condition (never circulated) they could be worth much more.  A local coin dealer would be able to determine their condition and give a better idea of value
