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. A solid circulated example with Kennedy's portrait still crisp and the reverse Presidential Seal showing good detail throughout. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper - Obverse: Kennedy portrait, "IN GOD WE TRUST" - Reverse: Presidential Seal, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / HALF DOLLAR" Circulated with light to moderate wear; some spotting and toning on both sides, details remain clear. No visible damage or alterations. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was the last 90% silver half dollar struck for circulation — Congress quietly dropped it to 40% silver the very next year as collectors hoarded every coin they could find. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
