Cool coin. Unfortunately, half dollars made after 1970 are (for the most part) only worth 50 cents. They are clad so they have a low melt value (unlike the silver half dollars of earlier years). 1971 was the first year that half dollars were clad as opposed to 40% silver (1965-1970). Not worth much, but still a cool coin to hold on to.
On a pack of gum..........Kripes, ya can't even do that anymore. What's a pack of gum go for nowadays? Buck and a half?
Yes, it has a value of 50 cents. Not that this can actually buy anything, but that's what it's worth.
Welcome to CT. You may want to do some looking around on here. https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/half-dollars/kennedy/ To get a feel for what Kennedy halfs are of interest along with most other denominations.
