A Look at Kennedy Half Dollars

Silver is a popular investment choice for precious metal novices and veterans alike. One way people like to buy silver is in the form of Kennedy half-dollar coins.

In this video, Ken Edwards, the Vice President of California Numismatic Investments, discusses the basics of 40% silver bags, or clad bags. One “full bag” of silver coins actually comes in two bags, valued at $500 each. The silver coins inside the bags are 40% silver, and were produced between 1965 and 1969. The 40% silver bag is a popular investment opportunity because they trade for a value that is very close to their silver content.
