1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, 90% Silver

The first year of issue for the Kennedy half — struck just months after the assassination and hoarded by the public almost immediately. A beautiful example with sharp portrait detail and strong reverse eagle. 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: Gilroy Roberts (obverse) / Frank Gasparro (reverse) — "FG" visible on reverse Circulated with light wear; luster still present on both sides and details are crisp throughout. A solid example of a coin that almost never made it into circulation. 1964 was the last year the U.S. Mint struck half dollars in 90% silver — starting in 1965, the composition dropped to 40%, and by 1971 silver was gone from the half dollar entirely. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
