1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and pulled from circulation almost immediately by a public that wanted to hold onto them. Both sides photograph well, with crisp eagle detail on the reverse and a strong Kennedy portrait on the obverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: none visible on reverse — Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver Content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Obverse: Kennedy portrait, "LIBERTY" / "IN GOD WE TRUST" - Reverse: Presidential Seal eagle, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / HALF DOLLAR" Circulated with light to moderate wear — details remain clear on both sides, some surface marks and minor grime consistent with age and handling. Fun fact: The 1964 Kennedy half was designed in just a few weeks following JFK's November 1963 assassination, and the public hoarded them so aggressively that a genuine coin shortage followed — making this one of the most emotionally charged coins in American history. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
