What is the going rate for original unc. Kennedy 50c rolls{1964-D}--is there any premium over the bullion price? I have them figured at around $133.00 per roll as bullion given silver spot of $18.46 and silver content per kennedy of 0.36 oz. A very good friend just discovered his deceased father's stash of Kennedy rolls and I promised to come up with a fair price for him. Thank you in advance. TomT.

    Strictly bullion, unless you find a sucker...

    Tom, I don't deal in them, but looked them up in the CDN. In the July Monthly Supplement that date was bid at $140 (with an ask of $150) for BU rolls, which is the common date bid. It sounds as if they trade based on their silver content.

    My experience is also that these are bullion pieces.

    Combine that sky high mintage with a much, much higher survival rate than normal (nearly EVERYONE from that generation was saving them) and you have a perfect recipe for bullion.

    I don't know about the minting quality of 1964-D half dollars, but about a year ago I ran across two unopened rolls of 1961-D half dollars. I thought GREAT! There should be at least a couple MS-64 or so coins here. When I opened the rolls, most everything was MS-60 or 61, NOT because of marks or post mint problems, but simply the Denver mint had done a horrible job of striking the coins from the get-go. They were weakly stuck (no breaks in the luster) and unattractive. There was perhaps one piece that graded MS-63 and a couple of MS-62s. The rest was dreack and had been dreack since they fell from the dies in 1961.

    Your right Bill...the Denver mint back in those years had terrible strikes.Even the favored 70 D kennedy Half that was only inluded in mint sets is hard to come by in high grades due to marks and weak strikes.If your looking for one in a high grade your gonna have to fork over an arm and a leg....!!!!
