How much is the value of a 1998 Kennedy half dollar?

Answer 1

Probably between 4 and 45 bucks,depending on its condition. Of course, if you have a professionally graded and encapsulated 1998-S in Mint State-68, PCGS lists it at $2500. The best thing to do is make the effort to show it to your local coin dealer and learn the facts. Or just be happy with the fact you have a coin that really is worth a bit more than its face value. Correction Circulation-grade half dollars made since 1971 are composed of the same copper-nickel "sandwich" metal as dimes and quarters, and have no extra value. 1998 proof halves were struck in both copper-nickel and silver; the former sell for 4 or 5 dollars while the silver ones as of 08/2009 retail anywhere from $12 to $650 depending on variety.
