1964 Silver Kennedy Half Dollar
- Original 1964 Silver Kennedy Half Dollars
- Uncirculated Condition
- Coins are 90% Silver
The 1964 Silver Kennedy Half Dollar represents a pivotal moment in American numismatic history. These original-issue coins were minted in 90% silver composition during the final year the U.S. Mint produced circulating silver half dollars. Struck just months after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, these half dollars served as a national memorial to the fallen leader, featuring Gilroy Roberts' portrait on the obverse and Frank Gasparro's modified presidential seal design on the reverse.
The uncirculated specimens preserved from 1964 showcase the coin's full original mint luster and sharp striking details, maintaining the quality as they first appeared from the Philadelphia and Denver mints. These silver issues hold particular significance as they mark both the end of an era for U.S. circulating silver coinage and the beginning of one of America's most enduring commemorative coin programs. The 1964 Kennedy half dollars remain highly sought after by collectors for their historical context, precious metal content, and status as the first year of issue for this iconic design that continues in modified form today.
