What is the value of a 1950 Ben Franklin half dollar?

Answer 1

1950 is not considered to be a rare date for half dollars. In very worn condition they're generally worth only their silver melt value, about $6 as of 09/2010. For higher grades, Numismedia lists the following retail values regardless of mint mark:

Moderately worn - $7.00

Slightly worn - $7.40

Philadelphia Mint - With no letter above the bell:

Almost no wear - $8.70

Uncirculated - $30-$100

Proof Coin - $460

Denver Mint - With the letter D above the bell:

Almost no wear - $23

Uncirculated - $32-$250

Answer 2

You need to know the coin's date and whether there is a small D or S on the back side, above the top of the Liberty Bell's yoke. Without that information the best I can do is to suggest that you look at the price guide linked below.
