I was thinking of selling a couple rolls of silver halves to my uncle, what would be a fair price? These are ones that I found coin roll hunting, so they aren't in MS condition or anything.

What year? Are you talking Kenndys only? If they're 40% silvers, melt value would be $1.62 per, based on current copper and silver prices, but that's if they are total junk. Even AU would run around $2.20 to $2.40 each, from what I've seen. Or, you could go the route of ebay and charge five to seven times face value for them!

If they're all 1964 melt value is $3.91. Or, again, the ebay route would dictate you charge at LEAST 10X face value. So it depends on how much do you like your uncle!

$1.50 each or $30/roll is a fair price.

Just curious, what are the years for the 40% halves? 1964 is the only year of the 90%, correct?

Right. 40% was from 1965 - 1970.

And for all practical purposes, 1970 is not included with other 40% halves since it was only included in Mint Sets and is the key for the series(not counting the special matte finish coins).

There are both Cu-Ni clad and 40% silver clad 1976-S half dollars. The 40% silver ones were made in both uncirculated and proof versions. The Cu-Ni clad are proof only. Any of the three varieties are potentially found in a roll, like any other NIFC coin.
