Question
Hi, i have a kennedy half dollar with 2 date on it...one is 1776 and the other is 1976. Inbetween the two dates and a little up is a very small D. On the back it has a picture of independence hall and to the left of it it says 200 years of freedom. what can you tell me about it and does it have any additional value
Phillip,
This is one of 287.5 million bicentennial commemorative half dollars made at the Denver Mint in 1975-1976. There were another 250+ million minted in Philadelphia.
Considered common, they have no collector value in circulated condition, and perhaps a dollar for a really nice uncirculated one.

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
