1964 - 90% silver = ?
1965-1969 If I recall correctly it's 70% silver in these years. Please
do correct me if I'm mistaken.
Thanks in advance,
Davey
The 1964 coins have ASW of .3617 troy oz.

The 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars are 40% silver and have ASW of .1479 troy oz
The 1970 coins (D & S) issued only in Mint Sets and Proof Sets.
Multiply the ASW by the current price of silver per ounce to get the value of
the coin.

Thank you, Beanie!

I have a Google docs spreadsheet that might help

Bob, Does this spreadsheet adjust automatically for daily fluctations?

Don't go overloading Davey; this is quite a serious intellectual
challange for him in the first place.
Hell, my dog Clementine can multiple the spot silver price by 0.36 or
0.14 and she doesn't even need a pocket calculator - she can do it in
her head, AND she can do it long-hand.
She barks at copper-nickel half dollars and will push them by her nose
towards the kitty litter.

Challenge is challenging this AM.
Got to sleep in late because of the heavy snow and high winds
overnight.

Don't you mean, long-paw?
Les
No doubt you are correct.
OTOH, Clemmie doesn't know that she's a dog, she thinks she's people.
She's way smart. If you ask her a concise question, she clearly
shakes her head up-and-down for "Yes" and from side-to-side for "No".
Hey, getting to sleep in about three hours extra (most unusual on a
week-day) has great benefits, but you wake up fuzzy.

try and remember, the copper content of the 40% Kennedys also have melt
value and DOES add up!
this link calculates the full melt value using the current spot I think
Oh, and how do you seperate the silver from the copper while
physically retaining the features of the original coin???
Nobody (who is really in the business of buying gold and silver) pays
any attention to the "melt value" of the copper alloy.
Silver is bought and sold in "TROY OUNCES".
Copper is quoted in "POUNDS".
Nobody gives a poop about the copper in an American 90% or 40% silver
coin.
I'll bet you're one of those silly persons who buys "one troy ounce of
copper" bars on ebay for 12 or 13 dollars apiece.
Copper is a great indicator of metals market direction ("Dr. Copper"),
but you'd get a hernia if you tried to hold enough "physical" to make
any kind of financial difference.

I use the Silver ETF for the silver price
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=SLV
so the spreadsheet recalculcates thoughout
the day. as the ETF trades.

Thanks, Bon!
Sry, I meant Bob!
You don't have any clarifying questions like "WTF is a Silver
ETF???". It seems doubtful that you would know.
