Thanks for this timely advice! I found several more of the Kennedy half dollars that are dated before 1971 (and will look into the collectability of these before selling them for silver. Also, I misspoke earlier regarding having lots of other Morgan dollars — I only have 2 Morgan dollars, the rest are actually Eisenhower dollars which seem to be worth only face value. Other than the 2 Morgan dollars and the 16 pre-1971 Kennedy half dollars, I have one Peace dollar (in very grungy condition though) and 2 Franklin half dollars. I also have 14 Susan B. Anthony dollars (all dated 1979) but it seems these are only worth face value. So the coins going to the bank on my next trip into town are gonna be these: Eisenhower dollars Kennedy half dollars dated 1971 and later Susan B. Anthony dollars

Thanks everyone for the responses! The coin has a lot flatter of an appearance usually; I was just trying to catch the details so I caught it at the right angle in the light. I'm pretty sure the coin has not been cleaned although I could see how the lighting makes it appear as such. I'm going to take this and the handful of other silver coins to a local dealer to sell, and the rest (lots of Kennedy half dollars and other Morgan dollars) to the bank since it seems they really aren't worth much more than face value. The coins hold no sentimental value to me. I looked up the details of the other silver coins and they also seem to sell in circulated condition for about their weight in silver, which I assume I can do at any reputable coin dealer in town. It was nice to learn a little bit about the world of coin collecting along the way, and I especially enjoyed learning about the silver certificate stuff from @Sandon

Hi gang, first time poster here.. recently received a jar of old coins from a relative, and this one stuck out as being in relatively good condition, especially for being so old. What grade would you give this coin? What would a dealer pay me for this? Thanks in advance for any help!
