i have a handfull of half dollars that are form 1971-1976.

i am pretty sure they are just face value right?

Depends on year, condition and mint mark.

 

Yes. They are face value. Be sure to check the mint marks on the coins to make sure there isn't possibly a proof coin in that mix that someone spent. Look for an "S" mintmark. Judging from the photo it looks like a handful of circulated clad halfs.

buy a Red book.

 

I agree, you should check them closely.

 

Hey... they're still fun to spend, especially if you find a sales clerk who has never seen one.

 

i have a 68.

 

I have a bunch of these stashed I am going to go check for any 'S' SF mint ones. Does this increase the value significantly?

 

oh! i found a few more. okay these are the years and mint marks

1949 ben franklin half (can't find mint mark)

two 1964 D halves

1968 D half

fourteen 1971 D halves

1973 D half

two 1974 D halves

ten 1776-1976 D halves

one 1776-1976 No mint mark half?
(i see no signs of scratching off the mint mark)



and that is all my halves

 

The '68 in that condition will only be worth the silver in it, which is currently $6.40.

 

The 49, 64's and 68 carry a premium for their silver. The rest are worth $0.50 each.

The Franklin and the '64s are worth $15.64. The rest are worth face unless they are MS65 or higher.

 

Yep... the '64-D's are worth $15.64 also.... so don't spend them!

 

what about this ben?

 

The Ben is worth melt also... nice mirror image photos, lol... oh... and you may want to crop your fingernail out of the photo.

 

It is hard to tell with that pic, but I would say it is worth melt, which was stated above as $15.64.

 

okay, and what about this weird thing? it's not a half, but interesting?

on the front it says "keep me and never go broke"
and on the back it says "montana grand chapter O.E.S. miles city 1972"


anyone have a clue?

 

okay, i'll have to remember that, lol. and i have a crappy built in cam, so i can't do anything super awesome with it

 

I guess it all depends on what that horse shoe is made of. It could be a collector item, but as for the value of the Lincoln cent, not much. Anyone else know anything about this?

 

Those horseshoe holders were made as far back as the 1950's, usually aluminum
