How much is 90 percent silver on a coin?

The coin's value depends on the current price of silver. Dimes with 90 percent silver are worth 0.07 times the price of one troy oz. of silver. Quarters would be 0.18 times the price of silver. Half dollars would be 0.36 times the price of silver. Can't tell if your coin has a large percentage of silver? Is it a dime, quarter, half or dollar dated 1964 or earlier? If yes, then it probably is mostly silver. Still not sure? Take a modern coin and drop it. Now drop your old coin. Is the sound different? The old coin should sound more ringing if it is silver. This was written by a sixth grader. Can you tell? Ps. I know I asked too many questions.

What is the value of a 1992 Kennedy silver dollar?

Please turn the coin over and check the denomination on the back. It's a HALF dollar. If the coin has a P or D mint mark above the date, its copper core indicates that it's made of copper-nickel, not silver, so it's only worth 50¢ if you got it in change. If it has an "S" mint mark, a very shiny surface, and no copper ring around the edge it's possible you have a so-called Prestige coin that was minted in the old 90% silver alloy for sale to collectors. If it's in its original package it might retail for $7 to $15 depending on quality. If it's been broken out and spent, that value drops considerably.

Why is a dime so small?

Coins in the United States were originally based on their metal value. Thus, a dime weighed 10/25 as much as a quarter and 10/50 as much as a half dollar. Basically, a dime was so small because it was supposed to contain about 1/10 as much silver as a silver dollar did. Although the composition of these formerly 90% silver coins is now cupro-nickel, the relative weights still survive; if you have a pile of dimes, quarters and half-dollars (and old Eisenhower dollars as well, but not any of the "golden" dollars), you can ascertain the face value based on weight alone (22.68 grams to the dollar (or, put another way, a pound of such coins is worth $20.00).

1943 half-dollar with the eagle and mrs liberty in gold while the rest is silver what is its worth?

At today's prices, the silver in an old half dollar is worth several dollars. The gold is undoubtedly too thin to be of much value. The gold plating reduces the value to coin collectors, but whoever plated the coin expected to be able to sell it at a premium. There is undoubtedly someone out there who would like it and be willing to buy it at a small premium IF it is in excellent condition (little if any wear).
