1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and one of the most collected coins in American history. Sharp obverse portrait with strong hair detail and good luster. Reverse shows the Presidential seal with crisp eagle and lettering. Some light contact marks and minor toning at the rim, but this is a genuinely nice example with plenty of eye appeal. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver (last year for 90% silver Kennedy halves) - Condition: lightly circulated or AU — strong details, minor contact marks, light rim toning The 1964 Kennedy half was the only year the series was struck in 90% silver; Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year due to massive public hoarding of the coins. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
