1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. A beautiful example of the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar in 90% silver. 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 — "FG" visible below eagle) Circulated with light wear; luster still present on both sides, details sharp, no major hits or damage. A solid example of this iconic coin. The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was the only year struck in 90% silver — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, partly because people were hoarding these out of circulation the moment they were minted. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
