the 1972 Kennedy half dollar is worth 50 cents in circulated condition, or about a dollar in uncirculated condition
A 1972 Kennedy half dollar contains no silver and is worth 50 cents.
50 cents.
The 1972 Kennedy half dollar is made of a 75% copper and 25% nickel composition. It does not contain any silver like earlier Kennedy half dollars minted in 1964.
It's worth 50 cents.
The 'H' adds nothing to the 50 cent value of the coin.
Gold-plated but not gold. All 1972 halves were made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents in circulated condition.
Check that coin again. Eisenhower was on a large dollar, and Kennedy is on the half dollar. Either way, a circulated specimen is worth face value.
They are intended for circulation, struck in copper-nickel and only worth 50 cents unless in proof condition.
No, the last time silver was in a Kennedy half dollar was 1970 when it was 40% silver. No 1971 or 1972 half dollars contain any silver. The US mint wouldn't make silver proof sets until 1992. So there are a few reasons why your 1972 half seems to be silver, the most common reason is plating, I've seen many Kennedy halves, gold, silver and even chrome plated. The other possibility is an error where the coin was struck on an incorrect blank, but there are very few errors of that type. Without seeing your coin I can't tell you for certain why your coin seems to be silver, but the US mint didn't make silver halves in 1972.

Yes, Kennedy's face is still on the half dollar.
