If you're offering them for sale then they should be listed on the Buy, Sell & Trade (BST) forum and not here. The BST forum is linked below-

The great vast majority of these coins are only worth their silver bullion content and the coins from 1965-1969 typically sell at a discount because they are only 40% silver and most folks don't want them. Values per piece based upon today's silver prices can be found many places, but you may want to try the Coinflation website, listed below-

These aren't very valuable on a per-coin basis so if you are selling small quantities you should sell them locally because shipping will cost as much as the coins.

@TomB has given accurate information... Unless the coins are at the top of the grading range, they will not command much of a premium. The '64, being 90% silver will sell, the others I would just spend - or stack, hoping for some future major gain in melt prices. Cheers, RickO

Wait a minute, wait a minute! I just need a small clarification. Did you say; just spend the others??

Surely you can find a local buyer that will pay more than $0.50ea for 40% halves!

They sell pretty easily on eBay if you have an account. Try to sell them in larger lots so that shipping expense doesn’t eat up all your proceeds.

40% halves are worth good money, do NOT spend them. The silver content is about $3.50 each and they are widely collected for bullion and stashes.

There is something seriously wrong here!

@ricko- Okay, who are you and what have you done with @ricko? 😂 🤣

The 400 Ag yes by what was mention before must be 3.47 $. In fact is minus 20% the refinery and add 20% who took them for refinery. So the price will be somehow 2$ to 2.5 $.

Only very high grade will be interesting and also a few of varieties.

Ricko...I'll take those nasty 40% silver halves off your hands for 3 x face. This way you don't have to go out & spend them.

ricko

Wow!! Calm down guys.... Sure, the melt value has potential, but minor at this point - sometimes, the hassle of selling for such a minor gain, is not worth it.... That is why I said 'spend OR STACK!! My choice would be stack... but I can see spending a low grade one rather than the exercise of selling, shipping, insuring .... Cheers, RickO

why would anyone sell silver coins to a refinery? That makes absolutely no sense. The BST is free and there are forum members that would step up to the plate with just a little discount under spot.

Anthony, melt on a 1964 Kennedy half dollar is around $8.50.
(The Current selling price for a 1964 half dollar averages 20 times face value because they are 90% silver)
The 1965-1970 melt value is about $3.50 are 40% silver, Not a sellable as 90% because it takes more time and effort to Refine 40% than 90%.

After reading this I guess I'm a stasher. Kinda of thought I was collecting coins.🤔🤑🐿🦫

40% haves sell easily on ebay... there IS demand for them!! And getting $4 per coin or better is certainly worth it! No way would I be spending them, but to each their own.

But hey.... I still pick up 'road kill' coins! They are valuable you know... I've seen the postings here where fortunes are being found on the pavement!
