1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and in the last year the US Mint used 90% silver for the denomination. Both obverse and reverse are sharp, with strong detail on Kennedy's portrait and the Presidential Seal eagle. Light contact marks consistent with careful handling, no heavy wear. A genuinely nice example of this iconic coin. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver - Condition: lightly circulated or AU — strong detail, minor contact marks, light toning on reverse The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production by public demand following JFK's assassination in November 1963, and the Mint struggled to keep up — over 400 million were struck that year alone, yet most were hoarded immediately as keepsakes. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
