1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first-year Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and pulled from circulation almost immediately by a public that wanted to keep them. This one shows nice luster with sharp detail on both the portrait and the Presidential Seal reverse. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — reverse confirms none present) - 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 surface marks — still a bright, attractive coin with good eye appeal. The 1964 Kennedy half was the last 90% silver half dollar ever struck for circulation; after 1964, the composition dropped to 40% silver, and by 1971 it went to copper-nickel clad entirely. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
