1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and pulled from circulation almost immediately by a public that wanted to hold onto them. Both sides photograph cleanly here, with sharp portrait detail 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) Circulated with light to moderate wear; luster largely gone but details remain well-defined. No visible damage or cleaning. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, and the public hoarded these so aggressively that they nearly vanished overnight. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
