My dad passed and my mom has a HUGE collection of coins to sell. I took the first one on the pile to start posting them on Marketplace and I'm definitely overwhelmed as the rules seem complicated to figure out their worth for the succession sale.

Can anyone help?

I can't figure how to post pictures as my pictures are over 3MB in size. Do you have a Facebook group where we can chat? This message board is way too limited.

Your 1968 Kennedy half is an alloy containing overall 40% silver. Unless the coin is in really high mint state its value is determined by its silver content.

That would be ~$4.50 at today's silver value. Dealers will pay you less than that due to the extra cost to refine the silver from a 40% alloy.

We will gladly help you, but we will need images first. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need images". You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. Tutorials are below.

Note: When you start a new topic this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: Tutorial here: http://goccf.com/t/466343

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
