1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and pulled from circulation almost immediately by a public that wanted to hold onto them. Both sides photograph beautifully here, with sharp eagle details on the reverse and a crisp Kennedy portrait on the obverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: none visible on reverse — Philadelphia (no mint mark) - 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 and some minor surface marks and hairlines; still strong detail throughout with nice remaining luster. A solid example of a coin people genuinely love to own. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar struck for circulation — Congress switched to a 40% silver clad composition the very next year. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
