1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver
The first year of the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and the last year it was made in 90% silver. Both sides photograph beautifully: Kennedy's portrait is sharp and well-defined, the Presidential Seal on the reverse retains strong detail throughout the eagle and shield, and the coin carries a nice original luster with only light handling marks. No mint mark visible on the reverse, indicating Philadelphia. A solid example of a coin collectors and history buffs both reach for. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver (pre-1965) Circulated with light wear — details remain sharp and luster is still present. A clean example. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was rushed into production within three months of President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, and public demand was so high that most were immediately pulled from circulation and saved as keepsakes — which is why finding one with this much remaining luster is a genuine treat. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
