Hi Npanda and 
to the Forum!
It's always good to pick up silver coins for just a small premium over melt.
As far as your 1965 half franc goes, while it's a nice coin, I don't imagine it will ever be worth that much more than its silver value. It's a common date, with a mintage of 17,920,000, and, as these coins were replaced by cupro-nickel ones in 1968, most of them saw little circulation and have survived in Extremely Fine and Uncirculated condition.
