1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. Both sides photograph beautifully here, with sharp detail on Kennedy's portrait 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) Light contact marks and some hairlines visible in the fields, consistent with a circulated or lightly cleaned example — details remain sharp throughout. A solid 90% silver piece. The 1964 Kennedy half was so popular with a grieving public that most were pulled from circulation and saved immediately, making circulated examples the exception rather than the rule. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
