1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver, About Uncirculated

The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and in 90% silver, no less. This one was clearly set aside early; the detail is sharp across Kennedy's portrait, the eagle's feathers on the reverse are crisp, and the luster is still present in the fields. Some light contact marks and a touch of wear on the high points keep it out of full Uncirculated territory, consistent with the "UNC" notation on the holder (a generous grade, but it's a nice coin). Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver, 0.3617 troy oz pure silver - Holder: Cardboard 2x2 Sharp, lustrous example with light handling — a solid coin for a type set or a Kennedy specialist. The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production by public demand as a memorial to President Kennedy, and the 90% silver composition was dropped the very next year — making this the only first-year Kennedy struck in 90% silver for circulation. Scrap silver melt value: about $25.00 (≈0.3617 ozt silver at a $69.11/ozt spot price, Aug 21, 2026). This is the raw junk-silver MELT value of the metal only — NOT an estimate of the coin's collector value based on its date, mint mark, grade, or condition.
