Someone probably opened some proof sets and spent them.

These coins look great. Notice the details that show because the strike is not a BUSINESS STRIKE  but a PROOF STRIKE.

Notice that the mint mark is an S. That means it was minted in San Francisco.

Why is that important? Well, if the price of silver is high then your coins have value for the metal alone.
Now of course there are other things like the conditon or the coin or errors that have value. But read this valuable article that will explain the value of your Kennedy Dollars that are often ignored.
Yes, I am one of those folks asking venders if they have any half dollars in their coin draws. You will too after reading this article about Kennedy Half-Dollars.
