What is the value of a solid silver Kennedy dollar coin?

Answer 1

Please post a new question with a DATE.

There aren't any solid silver JFK dollars for two reasons.

First and most importantly, JFK's picture is on the HALF dollar, not the dollar coin. Look on the back for the denomination, like on all US Coins.

Second, no circulating coins are ever solid silver. It's way too soft and would wear out very quickly. It's always alloyed with another metal, usually copper.

JFK halves contained silver for only 7 years:

> 1964: 90% silver, worth about 0.36 times the current price of silver

> 1965-70: 40% silver, about 0.16 times the current price of silver.

Answer 2

Kennedy is on the half dollar, not the silver dollar. As of February 2016, a 1964 Kennedy half is worth about $5.50, a 1965-1970 is about $2.25, and 1971 or later is 50 cents.
