He typically posts videos about all kinds of coins and the exact details on what makes them rare or valuable<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently, he posted a TikTok<\/a> sharing every major factor regarding the value of Kennedy half dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eric broke it down into three elements: composition, key dates, and valuable errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But first, a little history behind the coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These coins were made shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The obverse depicts the head of Kennedy facing left, with LIBERTY above and to the sides, and the year below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, IN GOD WE TRUST is in a straight line just above the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reverse has the US Great Seal and is similar to the Heraldic Eagle from the early 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few million of these were minted but as the denomination became antiquated, the silver composition was greatly reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eric started with small amounts first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He revealed that any half dollar between 1965 and 1970 is 40 percent silver and worth about $5 apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, the 1964 Kennedy half dollar are all 90 percent silver and about $10 to $15 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next up are the Not Intended For Circulation (NIFC) half dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any of these between the years 2002 and 2020 have a lower mintage than the rest, adding some value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These can sell for about $3 to $4 apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, errors are where the big money is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the 1972 Kennedy half dollar, Eric said to look for an \u2018FG\u2019 on the obverse and a \u2018D\u2019 mintmark, as these sell for about $400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The letters are between the tail and the eagle\u2019s leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another error to look for is on the 1964 Kennedy half dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since these are made from 90 percent silver, the error to look for is found on the number four from the 1964 date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is a silver drip on the bottom of the number, you\u2019re in luck because that may be worth up to $48,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to check your spare change for any rare pennies,<\/a> nickels<\/a>, dimes<\/a> and other coins as many of them could sell for thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Typically, the most valuable coins are ones with a low mintage or an error, as collectors find those coins are some of the rarest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, coin experts will pay top dollar if they are also well-struck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great website to check if your coins are worth anything is eBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You just need to search the full coin name, select the “sold” listing and then toggle the search to “highest value\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun revealed how your quarter could be worth up to $6,000<\/a>, see the exact detail to look for.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Kennedy half dollar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
