It's an ordinary 40% silver half dollar that was plated as a so-called "collectible". At $17/oz for pure silver, it contains about $3.00 worth of that metal.
Even the most boneheaded government functionary wouldn't authorize a coin to be made out of hundreds of bucks worth of pure gold and then put in change at 50 cents. If there ever were a real gold half dollar it would be smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser.
In 1968 a jfk half dollar was worth 50 cents.
At that time the coin was worth 50 cents. However, from 1965 to 1969 half dollars were made of 40% silver. At current silver prices these coins are worth about $3 in circulated condition.
Odds are that it's only gold-plated. A 1964 Kennedy half is currently worth about $10 for its silver content, so a gold-plated one is worth that plus however much more someone is willing to pay for it.
In 1968 the Kennedy half dollars were still struck in 40% silver so it has the silver value only, about $2.50. The gold plating was NOT done at the Mint and adds nothing to the value.
