1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and still one of the most collected coins in American history. Sharp presidential portrait on the obverse, bold Presidential Seal on the reverse. 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) Good luster with light toning across both sides and some minor contact marks — circulated but presents well. Details remain crisp throughout. The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production by public demand after JFK's assassination in November 1963, and Congress fast-tracked approval in just weeks — making it one of the fastest coin designs ever approved in U.S. Mint history. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
