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. Both sides photograph beautifully, with sharp portrait detail and a crisp presidential seal on the reverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse checked, none present) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Silver content: 90% silver (pre-1965) Light contact marks and minor surface haze consistent with careful circulation or handling; overall a nice, bright example with good detail remaining. 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, making this the final full-silver issue of the series. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
