3 Silver Clad Kennedy Half Dollars - over $13 in Silver Value

Description: 15.00 15.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Here is a lot of three Kennedy Half Dollars. Included are 1965, 1967 & 1970-S. With 40% silver, the melt value is around $13.50. They have not been professionally graded, nor am I a coin grader, but they appear, in my opinion, to be in Extremely Fine condition. The winning bidder will pay postage (plus $1 handling) and sales tax. No combined shipping on this item. Please e-mail questions - Good Luck. Please e-mail questions - Good Luck. 1965 to1970 Kennedy Half Dollars were minted with an outer layer of 80% silver and 20% copper, and a core of 79% copper and 21% silver. This resulted in a total of 40% silver and 60% copper (.1479 ounce of silver). The Kennedy half dollar replaced the Franklin half dollar within three months of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (nine years before the half-dollar would have otherwise been eligible for change). The new Kennedy design caused the slow disappearance of the half-dollar as a regular mainstream circulating coin, through a series of unrelated events. First, collectors and even ordinary citizens hoarded the coins of 1964, due to the "new" design and because of sentiment for the late President Kennedy. In 1965 Lyndon Baines Johnson took the United States of America off the silver standard. Also, silver was no longer included in newly-minted dimes and quarters (which became copper-nickel clad), but remained in the half-dollar (but reduced from 90% to 40%). The older Franklin halves of 90% silver were quickly removed from circulation by collectors and hoarders, and since the public now hoarded silver coins, most of the 90% silver 1964s, as well as the 40% silver 1965-1970 halves, saw little circulation as well. By the time the Kennedy half dollar became regular copper-nickel clad in 1971, many banks and merchants were already used to no longer stocking and using the denomination as they were prior to 1964. The half dollar has always circulated to some extent, but not at the level of circulation it had before 1964. Given the facts that the cash drawers of most merchants do not contain a place for quantities of half dollars, that most vending machines do not accept them, and that the dollar coin is smaller and is the subject of a push for acceptance, the half is likely to retain its limited circulation status.
