1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of the Kennedy half dollar — struck just months after the assassination and released to a public that hoarded them almost immediately. This one shows strong detail on both the obverse portrait and the Presidential seal reverse, with good luster still present. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar, first year of issue - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper - Obverse: JFK portrait, sharp hair and facial detail - Reverse: Presidential seal, crisp eagle and lettering Light contact marks and some toning on the reverse, consistent with a circulated or lightly handled example — overall a nice, bright coin with plenty of eye appeal. The 1964 Kennedy half was the only year struck in 90% silver; Congress switched to 40% silver the very next year as collectors pulled every one they could find out of circulation. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
