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 portrait detail, crisp eagle on the reverse, and bright original luster still showing through. 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) - Designer initials: "FG" (Frank Gasparro) visible below the eagle on reverse Circulated with light wear and some minor field marks, but strong details throughout — a very presentable example of this classic coin. The 1964 Kennedy half was so popular that the public hoarded them almost immediately after release, making circulated examples far more common than uncirculated ones — the mint had to produce a staggering 430 million that year to keep up. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
