1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver
The first-year Kennedy half, struck just months after the assassination — and one of the last US half dollars made in 90% silver. Both sides photograph beautifully, with sharp portrait detail and a crisp presidential seal on the reverse. No mint mark visible on the reverse, indicating Philadelphia. Details: - Date: 1964 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar (first year of issue) - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper Circulated with light wear and some surface cloudiness on the reverse — still a sharp, attractive example with good detail throughout. The 1964 Kennedy half was rushed into production by public demand following JFK's assassination in November 1963, and the US Mint struck a record-breaking 430 million of them that year — yet people hoarded them so heavily they barely circulated. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
