1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one came through in nice shape. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper - Obverse: Kennedy portrait, crisp with light contact marks and some field cloudiness - Reverse: Presidential seal, strong detail throughout Circulated with light to moderate wear; details remain sharp and the luster is still present in the recesses. A solid example of a coin people genuinely held onto. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, and the public hoarded these so heavily that they nearly vanished from change overnight. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
