1987 half dollar

Does a 1987 half dollar have any premium on it and what would it be worth? Thanks.

The 1987 Half Dollar was never released for normal circulation and were only available in uncirculated sets from the Mint.

"The 1987 uncirculated sets had a dramatic mintage for the year, with 2,908,145 issued, dramatically higher than sets of the previous few years, and sets issued thereafter. Because of this high mintage of sets, no shortage of 1987 Half Dollars ever occurred, even though they were never officially released into circulation. The demand for the coin was more than satisfied by cutting up mint sets.

The other issue with 1987 Kennedy Half Dollars is that, since all coins were issued in uncirculated mint sets, the majority will remain in uncirculated, or better, condition"

So... worth keeping...Yes Valuable... Not really maybe $5.00 in Unc condition.

Thanks Rooter. I've got two in a mint set. That's where they'll stay.
