1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and the last year it was made in 90% silver. Both sides photograph beautifully: sharp portrait on the obverse, crisp Presidential seal on the reverse. Checking the reverse carefully, no mint mark is visible below the eagle, placing this one at Philadelphia. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver content: 90% silver, pre-1965 Circulated with light wear — details remain sharp and the luster is still present in the fields. A solid example of a coin collectors and silver stackers both go after. The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production at both Philadelphia and Denver within weeks of JFK's assassination, with the public demand so overwhelming that the Mint struck over 400 million pieces that year alone. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
