Description
1964 Kennedy Half Dollar 90% Silver ... The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar holds a unique place in American numismatic history as the first year of the series and the only year the business-strike Kennedy half was minted in 90% silver. Released just months after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the coin was met with such overwhelming public demand that most were hoarded as mementos rather than circulated. The obverse, designed by Gilroy Roberts, features a soulful portrait of Kennedy, while the reverse by Frank Gasparro displays the Presidential Seal. The specimen in your photos appears to be in Excellent condition, retaining much of its original mint luster with only minor surface marks.
