1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and still one of the most recognized coins in American numismatics. Both sides are well-photographed here, and this one shows nicely. 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) - Obverse Designer: Gilroy Roberts; Reverse: Frank Gasparro Circulated with light to moderate wear — good detail remaining on JFK's portrait and the Presidential Seal reverse, with some natural toning across the fields. A solid example of a coin people actually held onto. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, making this the end of an era in American coinage. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
