Here's some helpful numbers, but I'm unsure where you should bid

Melt value at $50 spot- $17875
$60 spot- $21450
$70 spot- $25025
$80 spot- $28600

Depends on a lot of factors, silver spot, how much of a risk you are willing to take, volatility, expected varieties, premium, etc.

I can't speak to the price but I hope you win. Jfk halves are awesome. Cool design and typically have very little wear on them. 50 BU rolls would be amazing to store away for the future!!

Are these all completely 1964 Kennedy halves?

If so - I would assume minimal numismatic premium at the current silver spot price.

Or - are these coins rolled in 1964 that contain a random mix of all the 90% halves that pre-date them?

If that were the case - then there is the slight but exciting possibility that you could discover a treasure coin, albeit nothing truly valuable.

What does the auction say about the differences I suggested above?

If this is an auction house then what is the BP and the shipping charges?

thanks for replies,
auction is over, sold for 19K+ 27%+ shipping/insurance.
just over 24K.
these were all supposedly unopened, uncirculated 1964 OBW rolls.
i took a better look and found many enders to be very worn.
melt was 23,900 at time of auction.
