Hello there! That's a great question about a very popular coin. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar is special because it's composed of 90% silver.

Based on the information provided, a 1964 half dollar contains 0.36169 troy ounces of pure silver. This gives it a silver melt value of approximately $9.08.

It's important to keep in mind that this value is tied directly to the live market price of silver, which can change daily. So, while the amount of silver in the coin is constant, its cash value will fluctuate. This value represents what the silver itself is worth, not necessarily what a collector might pay for the coin, which can depend on its condition and rarity.
