    First, The Ike dollars came in Nickel and %40 silver during those years, so with out pics, or specific dates It would be hard to tell what they are worth. The Kennedy halves are the same way. 1964-%90 silver, 65-70-%40 silver, after that nickel, until 1992 when they started to make %90 proof silver halves for collectors. You might want to get a Whitman guide to determine what you have.

    If you could post the dates and the mint mark for the coins we could also give you an idea. The mint mark on the Ike's and Kennedy's is a small letter (either a P, D, S or no letter) between the date and the person's head. With this information, we can tell you if the coin contains any silver or not. If they don't contain silver and have been circulated (so have any marks or wear), they aren't worth more than face value usually.
