Each are sealed in plastic pouches. They appear to be untouched (no scratches, very shiney). Not sure of the grade but would guess they are uncirculated.Any idea of what the value may be? Thank you.

A 1950 Prf-65 is priced at $500 in the 2010 Red Book; a 1955 Prf-65 is $90 (lower mintage); and a 1959 is priced at $25. (these were all made with 90% Silver). A 1961 "Clad" (no silver) is $20. These are examples. Check online to find out the going rate on websites such as coinbug.com or ebay.com.

If the coin is not "shiny" and without blemish, it is considered a "circulated" coin and would be worth its silver content which is about $6 with silver at about $16. This half has 90% silver content.

Keep in mind that actual price you can get from any coin will vary. For example if you sell these to a dealer they will want to make a profit upon resale so they will not pay as much as a collector would.

On the low range some may be worth around $6.00, but if they are in higher grades they may be worth much more. Find a good coin grading guide and grade the coins yourself or take them to a professional grading service.
