1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and snapped up by the public almost immediately. This one came back around, and it's a nice example. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Silver Content: 90% silver (last year at full silver content) - Designer initials: "FG" (Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Sharp details on both obverse and reverse, with light surface hairlines and some minor bag marks consistent with a lightly circulated or mishandled uncirculated coin. Still bright with good luster. A solid example of this iconic first-year issue. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation — starting in 1965, the composition dropped to 40% silver, and by 1971 it was copper-nickel clad all the way. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
