CALCULATING TODAY'S MELT VALUE (USD)

Using the latest metal prices and the specifications above, these are the numbers required to calculate melt value:

$3.3349 = copper price / pound on Jan 16, 2014. .9167 = copper % $6.5881 = nickel price / pound on Jan 16, 2014. .0833 = nickel % 11.34 = total weight in grams .00220462262 = pound/gram conversion factor (see note directly below)

The CME uses pounds to price these metals, that means we need to multiply the metal price by .00220462262 to make the conversion to grams.

1. Calculate 91.67% copper value :

(3.3349 × .00220462262 × 11.34 × .9167) = $0.0764273

2. Calculate 8.33% nickel value :

(6.5881 × .00220462262 × 11.34 × .0833) = $0.0137194

3. Add the two together :

$0.0764273 + $0.0137194 = $0.0901467

$0.0901467 is the melt value for the 1971-2014 half dollar on January 16, 2014.

MINTAGE AND COLLECTIBLE VALUE (USD)

The "Year" column lists the year and mint mark on the coin -- D is for Denver, S is for San Francisco, and P is for Philadelphia. A coin without a mint mark means it was also minted in Philadelphia. The "Mintage" column is the number of coins struck and released by the U.S. Mint. The "Numismatic Value Range" column represents what people typically pay for that type of coin (usually a very wide price range depending on the condition).

Year Mintage Numismatic Value Range 1973 64,964,000 $0.50 - $10.00

EBAY AUCTIONS - KENNEDY HALF DOLLARS

I believe that the old saying, "A coin is only worth what someone will pay for it," is absolutely true. I prefer eBay because it displays what people are actually paying for coins. Monthly coin price magazines and online price lists may not reflect current market conditions because they don't demonstrate what people are actually willing to pay.
