1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and the only year the series was made in 90% silver. A beautiful example with sharp portrait detail on the obverse and a crisp Presidential seal 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) - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer: Gilroy Roberts (obverse), Frank Gasparro (reverse — "FG" visible) Circulated with light surface wear and some minor hairlines on the fields, but the design elements remain well-defined and the luster is still present. A solid example of a coin that collectors and silver stackers both reach for. The 1964 Kennedy half was so popular with the public that the Mint produced over 400 million of them — yet people hoarded them almost immediately, and they virtually vanished from circulation overnight. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
