[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2092888, member: 13307"]Circulated clad Kennedy Halves are more than likely worth face value, unless they have a particular variety that someone would pay a premium for. This is [I]most likely[/I] what you got from the bank. Since the mintages of these coins are usually quite high, and the coins you got are most likely very circulated (worn, damaged, etc) premiums would probably be reserved for coins grading MS65 or higher (gem quality) - and many of these coins will be in a Third Party Grading (TPG) slab. Those are the coins you will see in the Numismedia Price Guide.
