1964 Kennedy Half Dollar 50C – PCGS Genuine AU Details (Cleaned) | 90% Silver First-Year Issue

This 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, certified by PCGS as Genuine AU Details (92 – Cleaned), is a highly collectible first-year issue from one of the most iconic series in U.S. coinage. Introduced shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, this coin was released as a national tribute and quickly became a historic symbol of American remembrance.

Graded as About Uncirculated (AU) Details, the coin retains strong design detail with only slight wear on the highest points, indicating minimal circulation. While it has been noted as cleaned, it still offers attractive detail and eye appeal, making it a more affordable option for collectors seeking a certified 1964 issue.

The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar is especially significant because it is the only year the series was struck in 90% silver for regular circulation, adding both intrinsic bullion value and lasting numismatic demand. The obverse features a portrait of President Kennedy, while the reverse displays the Presidential Seal, designed by Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro.

Encapsulated and authenticated by PCGS, this coin provides confidence in authenticity and represents an important piece of mid-20th century American history.
