1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and pulled from circulation almost immediately by a public that wanted to hold onto them. This one shows why: strong luster on both sides, sharp portrait detail, and the Presidential Seal reverse is crisp and well-struck. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer initials: "FG" (Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Light contact marks and minor bag marks consistent with a lightly circulated or AU example — still a bright, attractive coin with good eye appeal. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation; starting in 1965, the Mint dropped the silver content to 40%. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
