Half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver and are worth about $11 in silver content. Keep in mind that proof, error, and key date coins may be worth much more than pure silver content. And from 1965-1970 the half dollar was 40% silver and is worth about $4.50 in silver content. Half dollars dated 1971 and later are not silver unless found in a US mint silver proof set.
Note that any half dollar made during 1965-69 is only partially silver and is worth about $3. Halves dated 1971 and later contain NO silver and are only worth 50 cents.

A Kennedy Half Dollar that was minted in 2007 and carries a mint mark of "S," was produced in clad and silver. The clad in a proof state is worth: $4; in silver, the value is: $7.00.
It depends greatly on the year, early silver dollar proof dollars can be worth several thousand dollars, modern silver dollar proofs of common dates might be worth $20 or so for silver scrap.
a half hundred dollar bill is worth $50
No US Half Dollars are pure silver. The composition is .900 silver & .100 copper. For a value, the date and any mint marks are needed for an evaluation
This is not done at the mint, rather, a third-party has punched two dates in it and gold plated it. It is only worth what a circulated Kennedy half dollar (because it has been damaged) of that date is worth, there is no extra value. If its dated 1964 it is 90% silver and worth about $8 in scrap silver. If it is dated 1965-1970 it is 40% silver and its worth about $3.25 in scrap silver. If it is dated 1971-present it is just worth 50 cents, nothing more.
