1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver
The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one shows sharp detail on both the obverse portrait and the Presidential seal reverse, with bright original luster and only light handling marks. A genuinely nice example of this first-year coin. 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) - Designer: Gilroy Roberts (obverse) / Frank Gasparro (reverse — "FG" visible) Circulated with minimal wear; luster largely intact, a few light contact marks consistent with handling. Strong details throughout. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, and the public hoarded these so heavily that they nearly vanished from change overnight. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
