1968 Kennedy Half Dollar ? is the Silver still there?

This Kennedy Half Dollar is sealed in a sealed plastic wrapper Looks ok but is it considered circulated or uncirculated. Plus looks like some doubling ,what do you think?

I can't see any doubling, poor pics, but your half dollar is really 40% silver.

 

Also, why is I in plastic? Did you put it there or is this a Mint Set?

 

Can't see any "doubling" in your out-of-focus pics. If it is in mint plastic (a mint set), then it is probably uncirculated.

Kennedy Halves between 1965 and 1970 were made out of 40% silver, instead of the 90% of pre-64 coins. After 1970, they were made of the cupro-nickel clad of modern coinage.

 

I received them in sealed plastic from relatives . Vs taking them out of the plastic I attempted photos through the plastic. Doesn't work so well. So the 1965 through 1969 half dollars would be worth slightly over thier monetary value? Is there any collectors value?

 

If they are in the US Mint plastic, keep them there. 40% silver.

 

I was wandering about keeping them in that sealed plastic ,now I will keep them sealed thanks to your recommendation.

$7 to $10 for the full mint set on e-bay. Do you have a full mint set, or just a coin? Is it in plastic with other coins?

 

Unfortunatly I only have just the coin in plastic.
Thanks
