1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and instantly beloved by the public. Both sides photograph beautifully here, with sharp portrait detail and a crisp presidential seal on the reverse. 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 initials: "FG" (Gilroy Roberts / Frank Gasparro) visible on reverse Circulated with light wear and some minor contact marks on the obverse field — still a handsome example with good luster remaining. A solid 90% silver piece from one of the most collected series in American coinage. Fun fact: The 1964 Kennedy half was so popular with a grieving public that most coins were immediately pulled from circulation and hoarded — the Mint struck a record 430 million that year just trying to keep up with demand. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
