1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost as fast as the mint could make them. This one shows both sides cleanly, with sharp lettering and good eagle detail on the reverse. No mint mark visible on the reverse, indicating Philadelphia. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Composition: 90% silver (last year at full silver content) - Obverse: JFK portrait, "IN GOD WE TRUST," "LIBERTY" - Reverse: Presidential seal, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / HALF DOLLAR" Circulated with light surface wear and some minor hairlines; details remain sharp and the coin presents well. The 1964 Kennedy half is the only year the series was struck in 90% silver — Congress dropped it to 40% silver starting in 1965, and clad entirely by 1971. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
