Question
Other than face value, is there any value to a Kennedy 50 cent piece from 1964 to 1967?
Hi Jeff, Kennedy halves dated 1964 are 90% silver and contain .3618 of an ounce of silver. Halves dated 1965-70 are 40% silver and contain .1480 of an ounce of silver. Currently about $6.15 and $2.50 respectively. Collector value may be a bit above the silver value depending on amount of wear and collector demand.

You might also try a library for a copy of the Guidebook of United States Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
