Best Answer

None of the bicentennial Kennedy halves made for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. The 40% silver collectors coins all have the "S" mintmark and were issued only in the 3-piece Silver Bicentennial sets sold from the U.S. Mint. The 40% silver coins have a weight of 11.50 grams.
