1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. Both sides photograph beautifully here, with sharp eagle and portrait detail and a nice bright luster that suggests minimal circulation. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse confirmed) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) Light contact marks and a small scratch visible on the obverse field, but overall a very presentable example with strong detail and good eye appeal. The 1964 Kennedy half was so popular with a grieving public that the Mint produced over 400 million of them — yet most were hoarded rather than spent, making circulated examples genuinely hard to find. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
