1964 was the only year JFK halves were made of 90% silver alloy.

The composition was changed to 40% silver clad in 1965, and to copper-nickel clad in 1971.

A 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar contains .3617 ounces of pure silver. Multiply this by the spot price of silver to get the bullion value of the coin. At the time of this writing, silver was $16 an ounce, making a 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar worth about $5.80
