1969-D Kennedy Half Dollar, 40% Silver

A solid example of the short-lived 40% silver Kennedy half — the transitional composition Congress approved after pulling 90% silver from circulation in 1964. Both sides photograph well, with good detail on Kennedy's portrait and the Presidential seal reverse. Details: - Date: 1969 - Mint Mark: D (Denver) - Denomination: Half Dollar - Series: Kennedy Half Dollar - Silver Content: 40% silver (1965–1970 clad-silver composition) - Obverse Mint Mark Location: below neck truncation Circulated with light to moderate wear; some golden toning on the obverse rim, details remain clear throughout. The 1965–1970 Kennedy halves were struck in a 40% silver "clad" composition as a compromise — enough silver to satisfy collectors, but less than the 90% coins they replaced, which had been disappearing from circulation almost immediately after JFK's assassination. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
