1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one shows both sides cleanly, with sharp eagle detail on the reverse and a good strike on the portrait. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse checked, none present) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer initials "FG" (Gilroy Roberts / Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Circulated with light surface hairlines and some contact marks visible under magnification — honest wear for a coin that's been handled. Details remain sharp and the luster is still present in the fields. A solid example of a classic American silver coin. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
