1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar, struck just months after the assassination — and the only year the series was made in 90% silver. A beautiful example with sharp portrait detail on the obverse and a crisp 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 - Designer: Gilroy Roberts (obverse) / Frank Gasparro (reverse) Circulated with light wear — luster still present in the fields, details remain sharp throughout. A solid example of this iconic first-year coin. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was rushed into production at the public's demand following JFK's assassination in November 1963, and the Mint struggled to keep up — over 400 million were struck between Philadelphia and Denver that year alone. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
