The value really depends on the condition, in lower grades Bust Halves can be had for $40-50 and they go into the thousands when uncirculated. The Capped Bust series also has many different die varieties(termed Overton number varieties) that can be worth multiples of a normal coin. For much of the early 1800s that half dollar was the economic engine of the country as silver dollars and gold coins were in very short supply. Because they were so prevalent in the economy, they are quite affordable considering their age. The best way for us to properly value them would be to post large clear pictures of both sides.
