1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver
The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and in the last year the US Mint used 90% silver for the half dollar. This one is housed in a cardboard 2x2 holder with "Good" written on it, though the coin photographs considerably better than that: Kennedy's portrait is sharp, hair detail is present, and the reverse eagle shows good definition throughout. Light wear and some minor contact marks consistent with a circulated coin, but well above the grade on the holder. 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, hand-graded "Good" Circulated with moderate wear — details readable and better than the holder suggests. A solid 90% silver piece from the most collected year of the series. The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production by public demand following JFK's assassination in November 1963, and the Mint struck nearly 430 million of them — more than any other year in the series. 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. Gavel AI Estimated Value: $31.25–$38.74 (grade: Very Fine). This is an automated estimate based on the coin's visible condition — for reference only, not a professional appraisal or guarantee. The final price is set by the bidding. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
