Question
Hi i have two 50 cent coins one is from 1959 and the other is from 1952 i was just trying to figure if they were worth anything.almost forgot i have a 1905 nickel as well please let me know about there value please and thank you

Answer
Chris,

Assuming the coins are in average circulated condition ...

The 1959 half is worth $4.50

The 1952 half is worth $4.50 -- unless it has an "S" mintmark above the bell on the back, which is worth a couple dollars more.

The 1905 nickel is worth a dollar.

I hope this helps,

Dan

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

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
