First-Year 90% Silver Kennedy Half Dollar 3-Piece Proof & Uncirculated Set!

The first year 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar was originally struck as a commemorative to pay homage to President John F. Kennedy following his tragic assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. At the time, interest in this coin was extremely high due to the popularity of the fallen president, and people lined the street outside the Treasury building for their chance to obtain uncirculated coins. Nobody likes standing in lines—and now you don’t have to. You can get a spectacular three-piece set consisting of the Kennedy Half Dollars struck at the Denver and Philadelphia Mints in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, and the Proof version struck in Philadelphia. And, in addition to being the first year of issue for this coin, the 1964 Kenndy Half Dollar is important for being the last year the U.S. Mint struck this denomination for circulation in highly pure 90% fine silver!

The Face Of America’s Half Dollar

The story of the Kennedy Half Dollar is now numismatic legend: after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November of 1963, Congress moved quickly to ensure that the United States Mint would be able to create a commemorative half dollar featuring the former president’s profile along with the Presidential Seal. The coins were released in January of the following year—just a few short months after JFK’s passing. The design by U.S. Mint sculptor-engraver Gilroy Roberts proved to be so popular that it replaced the existing Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar, and Kennedy has remained the face of the denomination ever since.
