1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and one of the most recognized coins in American collecting. Both sides photograph beautifully, with sharp eagle detail on the reverse and strong portrait definition on the obverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse checked) - 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 Lightly circulated with some minor contact marks and a small spot of toning on the reverse, but overall a bright, attractive example with most luster intact. 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 almost immediately. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
