1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and one of the most collected coins in American history. Both sides photograph beautifully here, with sharp portrait detail on the obverse and a crisp Presidential seal on the reverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: None visible on reverse — Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer: Gilroy Roberts (obverse) / Frank Gasparro (reverse — "FG" visible below eagle) Lightly circulated with some minor contact marks and hairlines visible in the fields, but strong detail throughout — a solid example of this iconic coin. Fun fact: The Kennedy half was rushed into production in early 1964 at the request of Congress and the public following JFK's assassination in November 1963 — the Mint completed the design and began striking within just a few months of his death. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
