    Old US half dollars
    I have 36 of my dad's old silver half dollars, ranging from 2 1936 Liberty coins to a few Franklin coins to a 1967 Kennedy coin. Most are pre-1960. The one I can read the best is the 1936 Liberty coin. I see no mint mark on the back of the coin. The front has a figure of a woman walking, left foot in front and right arm outstretched. The word Liberty runs from the 8 o'clock position on the face of the coin to the 4 o'clock position. The back of the coin has an American eagle, with wings almost stretched out and standing on the edge of something. All coins appear to be well-worn with the exception of the newer ones form the 1960's. I've looked at several website to just get an idea what these coins may be worth - most are not very helpful unless you buy their book.

    Thanks for any help on this subject.

    Flying Blue Eagle is an Expert on this site who has the current documentation concerning the possible monetary values of coins and currency. I am sure that he will be along eventually to personally address your post.

    In the meantime, it would help if you could come up with some determination as to the graded conditions of the ones that you have. There are a number of sites out there that will be helpful to you to make those determinations of the grades yourself. If you click on the link below for a search for those kind of sites, you will find a number of them.

    bjWhitson - If you will get a list of ( all the DATES & Mint Marks,) I will be glade to help you with your question. I need the DATES ON THE COINS and I need the MINT MARKS <ON ALL THE COINS . 1967 - Kennedy half dollar - I need to know is it a 1776 - 1976 BICENTENNIAL COIN , IF IT IS ON THE REVERSE ( BACK ) SIDE < IF it is you will see ( INDEPENDENCE HALL IN ( PHILADELPHIA..
    NOTE )- On the 1936 Silver dollar 9Walking Liberty, GRADES DIFFER ON WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE COIN ON BOTH SIDES. This coin from what you said would be in value - g-4 $ 6.00 VG-8 $ 6.25 And goes on up depending on the grade. There is a site on this site that gives the grades of coins, it tells what to look for , then what the value is at that grade. Have a good day and GOD BLESS :: F.B.E.
