No issue
1931 half dollar
No half dollars were struck dated 1931. Production stopped as the Depression cut demand for coinage.
The rest of the jar
Every circulating silver denomination in 1931 used the same 90% alloy, so their silver content is simply proportional to face value. If you are sorting a mixed container, these are the numbers you need.
| Coin | Silver | Metal value |
|---|---|---|
| Dime | 0.0723 ozt | $4.93 |
| Quarter | 0.1808 ozt | $12.32 |
| Half dollar | 0.3617 ozt | $24.64 |
Weight and fineness are as set by statute and published by the United States Mint. The silver weight is calculated from them rather than transcribed. Melt value is that weight multiplied by the live silver spot price and is not an offer to buy or sell. Methodology.
