I don't know its worth, it was my father n laws it has a tiny bullet hole but not all the way through it. I do know it came from the depression my father n law was born 1923 and this coin was his grandfathers.

Welcome to the forum. Would you be able to describe the coins overall condition or post a pic or link where one can see the coin.

Take Care

welcome, and without a picture any value would be pure guess, like:
10 times face for silver value.

A damaged silver half dollar made in the 1960s is worth $4-5 in today's market. Unless this 170-year-old Seated Half is profoundly mutilated, I'm sure you could sell it for twice that much, maybe a bit more.

Damaged coins do lose most of their numismatic value, but not all of it.

However, it sounds like this coin has more family history value than monetary value.
