1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and still the only year it was made in 90% silver before the composition was reduced. Both sides show sharp, well-defined details with good luster and only light handling marks. No mint mark visible on the reverse, indicating Philadelphia. A nice example of this iconic first-year coin. 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 initials: "FG" (Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Circulated with minimal wear — luster largely intact, sharp details on both obverse portrait and reverse eagle. A solid example. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was rushed into production by public demand as a tribute to the recently assassinated president, and the U.S. Mint produced a record-breaking 430 million pieces that year to meet it. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
