I recommend buying a 2022 Redbook to look up coin prices. This is a 90% silver and common Franklin half worth around $12.

Correct, the grade is VF details referring to how much wear the design elements on the coin have.

I never said you was trying to sell it. You're not being specific in what you're asking, reread your first post here. You didn't ask the grade or anything, you just mentioned it. You have to be more attentive to how you ask what you want.
