1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one actually made it into circulation, which makes a nice example all the more satisfying to find. 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" (Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Circulated with light to moderate wear — portrait details still crisp, eagle sharp, luster partially present. A solid example of a coin that most Americans never let leave their hands in 1964. The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was the last 90% silver half ever struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, and the clad sandwich came shortly after. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
