Standard 90% silver half dollar. In that condition, it’s worth is the silver value itself. At current prices, maybe around $4-5.

I guess I am "dumb as a rattle" since I had no idea in the world what you were asking about before you added the close ups of the 4, and to be honest I still don't know what you are asking about.
No worries, though. I'll just move along as I see this thread going nowhere fast.
,
Can you be more specific about what you want help with?
Do you want an estimate of the value?
(That is what people usually ask about).
Are you thinking there is a die crack from the 4 to the rim?
Even though your photos are OK, I can't see it quite clearly enough to say if it's a crack or not.
want help with it allreally value what else do u need on pictures let me know please if that’s ok tell the pictures u need
The most special thing about that half is that it is made from 90% silver. The second set of pics from the magnified 4 looks like nothing more than bumps from a pitted die and maybe a very small die crack, but not 100% sure because the pics are a little blurry.
In the mean time there is no sense for you to get smart with somebody because they gave you simple answer. We do not know what your knowledge base is since you are new here. Some people would not know that the Kennedy half that you have is made from silver. Keep in mind you posted pics only and said "help with this please", and nothing more specific so you got a simple answer and it was in no way sarcastic.
Please use proper English when posting here. Your run-on sentences are really annoying.
Just what do you actually want to know?
Ok I apologise I’ll be more precise from now on apologies again
This is somewhat unclear.
Are you saying: "I want help with it all" ?
If so, that is not specific.
The value question was already answered ($4-5).
Are you asking how to sell it?
"really value" ?
What does this mean?
I'll help; I just don't quite understand the question.
The pictures are good enough for a value type question.
As in do u need close ups how to take the best picture and is there anything that ur looking for ie marks dies thanks for helping me out I appreciate it
Yes, we all "have the IQ of a rattle" so you should submit it to PCGS for grading to get a professional answer.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
And how do I go about that what’s the best way and is it worth it thanks for the advice
Go to PCGS.com and all your questions will be answered.

OK, I understand.
You are asking if there are known rare / valuable varieties for the 1964 Kennedy half dollar.
There are some rare varieties, but I don't think they are very valuable.
The one well known variety is the 1964 proof "accented hair" (but your coin is not a proof).
You can see some known varieties here (but I don't think they have much added value):

http://varietyvista.com/12 Kennedy Halves/DDRs 1964.htm
I could be wrong about the value; I'm not a Kennedy half variety specialist.
Many collectors like to look for the DDO / DDR type varieties, even though they may not have much added value.
Just as a challenge, to see what they can find.
Thing is it’s not the proof Coin that’s worth anything it’s the dangling 4 from what I’m reading is that right
90% silver.
And that means what as in weight is that a good thing or what my friend
In case you were wondering, it’s not an “SMS” example, even if you read something on the internet to make you think it was. Contrary to what I’ve seen mentioned in some places, on its own, a “dangling 4” does not mean it’s an SMS coin. It’s worth it’s silver content - currently about $5.50

Thanks sorry if I waisted ur time
There is a proof variety "accented hair" which has some value, but since your coin is not a proof, that variety is irrelevant.
The possible die crack below the 4 is potentially interesting to me as a collector, but probably does not add much value.
It might be a small piece of debris on the coin, like some of the other visible things in your closeup photos.
My mom saved many of the 1964 Kennedy half dollars, because they were new and interesting at the time.
So did many other people.
It is not something that you normally see in spare change, but it is not rare, either, because millions were saved.
So its main value is the 90% silver bullion value.
There's nothing wrong with looking for a rare die variety, though - could be fun.
Capitalization and punctuation, as well as spelling, would help us greatly. It is very difficult to read what you are writing and that always adds to frustration. You posted a photo of the front and back of the coin, received an answer to an unasked question, and then posted the closeup of the 4.
Now here is my response. It is a normal 1/2 dollar with no value above that of the silver content. The "4" looks great and normal. Here is a photo of a nice example that show the font of the date clearly.

Kennedys are my quest...
It wasn't a waste of time for me - I'm trying to help, just like you are.
You can read about the rare '64 SMS Kennedy half here:
How To Tell A 1964 SMS Kennedy Half Dollar from a Business Strike Or Proof
The tiny teardrop of metal below the rightside of the cross in 4 is but one diagnostic. But there's far more difference in the finish, strike and the square wire rims to go by.

Don’t make fun of him 😊 what if he has dyslexia, you never know 🤔
Interesting.
@Nicrow32....Welcome aboard....Please understand that your initial posts were somewhat cryptic... we need both pictures and words describing what you are questioning....There are experts here on almost all coins, and you will get answers once your issue is understood. Cheers, RickO
at the risk of alienating a newer member and enraging some regular members I am left with one thought(actually several), that this site is not an "entry level" location for people who are interested in Numismatics, who don't seem to have a grasp on the English language, who can't understand that to give an answer there really needs to be a simply formatted question and that blaming someone else for one's incompetence isn't a good formula for getting help.
