1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. Both obverse and reverse are shown, and this one presents beautifully: sharp portrait detail, strong eagle on the reverse, and a bright luster that suggests it saw little to no circulation. Light contact marks consistent with bag handling, but nothing that detracts. 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 to lightly circulated, with excellent detail retention and above-average eye appeal for the date. The 1964 Kennedy half was the only 90% silver issue in the series — Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year, making this the one collectors always want. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
