1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one shows bright original luster with only light handling marks; the eagle on the reverse is crisp and well-struck. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse confirms none present) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) - Designer initials: "FG" (Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse below eagle Circulated with light wear — luster still present on the high points, no significant hits or cleaning visible. A solid example of a coin most people pulled from circulation and saved. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, making this the end of an era in American coinage. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
