What is the value of a 1934 US half dollar?

The value of a 1934 US half dollar depends on its condition and mintmark. The San Francisco Mint produced 2,656,000 half dollars in 1934, while the Philadelphia Mint produced 19,002,000. The half dollar was minted in 90% silver, with a copper content of 10%.

* Good: $10 - $20

* Fine: $20 - $30

* Very Fine: $30 - $40

* Extremely Fine: $60 - $100

* Uncirculated: $75 - $250

The value of a 1934 half dollar can also be affected by its rarity. The 1934-S half dollar is slightly rarer than the 1934-P half dollar, and thus may command a higher premium. Additionally, the 1934 half dollar was the first year of issue for the Walking Liberty design, which may make it more desirable to collectors.
