The majority of silver half dollars are going to be in circulated condition, so half dollars that are of a higher quality are going to be sold for a higher premium. At SD Bullion, we sell silver halves in both circulated and higher quality conditions as well.
Prior to 1965, U.S. Silver coins such as Dimes, Quarters and Half Dollars were composed of .90 fine Silver; however, their composition changed as a result of the Coinage Act of 1965. Silver prices were on the rise at this time in history, and the U.S. Mint’s supply of Silver was low, creating the need for the act.
