I also have a 1971 half dollar .Has anyone had there's certified?Wat r the values of these half dollars ?
If it is circulated it is worth fifty cents. If uncirculated it would depend on the grade, on the low end maybe a couple dollars.
Ugh. For anyone reading this, you don't have to open a set to weigh one coin. The weights of the other coins are KNOWN, simply weighing the package and subtracting the other coins weights would tell you whether the coin is silver or not. I realize the packaging weighs something, but the difference in weight between a silver half and a plain is tremendous. Please don't open mint packaging unless necessary!
Silver 1971d half certified per coinworld http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...edy-half-struck-in-40-percent-silver.all.html
you could also do this... weigh both pliofilm packs if they weigh the same, the half is clad. If they weigh differently, then compare the difference in weight to the diff between a silver and clad half's weight
Quick answer Post a clear picture of the front and back in a new thread and specify what you want to know (value, is this feature an error, etc). 1971 Halves are very common so chances are it is only worth 50 cents.
This is an 11 year old thread. The coin posted back in 2006 is copper-nickel clad, as are all other known 1971-D halves except for the one cited above that was graded in 2015. You can easily tell by the color. Uncirculated CuNi has a different color from 40% silver. The weight is pretty close between 40% (11.43 g) and CuNi (11.33 g). You have to have a scale accurate to at least 0.01 grams so that you can be confident in the 0.1 g difference when weighing. The difference in specific gravity is higher. 1971 halves are common and worth face value if circulated, and don't break into the $10+ range (retail) until they're graded MS66.
Nothing looks unusual in your photos. Just normal coins in circulation. The 1967 is 40% silver, so it is worth more based on the melt value. The other coins are worth 50 cents
