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. This one shows sharp detail on both the obverse portrait and the Presidential Seal reverse, with nice luster still present. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — verified on reverse) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver Content: 90% silver (pre-1965) Circulated with light wear and a few minor contact marks, but well above average for a coin that's been in and out of pockets for sixty years. Strong eye appeal. 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 heavily that they nearly vanished from change overnight. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
