1964 Kennedy Half Dollar

Brief Description

The obverse features a left-facing profile of President John F. Kennedy with the word 'LIBERTY' around the top edge, 'IN GOD WE TRUST' across the bottom, and the date '1964'.

Historical Significance

This coin was minted shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 as a memorial. The 1964 issue is particularly significant as it was the only year the Kennedy Half Dollar was minted with 90% silver content for general circulation.

Estimated Value

$10.00 - $15.00 USD (based on silver melt value and typical circulated condition)

Care Instructions

To maintain the coin's value, do not clean or polish it, as this can cause microscopic scratches that decrease its numismatic worth. Store the coin in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free plastic holder or an acid-free envelope to prevent toning or damage.
