Obverse

The obverse side of the 90% Silver Kennedy Half Dollar features a left-profile bust of President John F. Kennedy. This portrait of Kennedy was approved by the president himself earlier during his first term for the Presidential Medal Series and was modified for use on these coins following his death.

Reverse

History

The only 90% silver coins in the Kennedy Half Dollar Series are those that were issued in 1964. This was the last year that any of the US denominations, dollar, half dollar, quarter, or dime, featured 90% silver with 10% copper. The Kennedy Half Dollar would continue with silver content through 1970, but it was a lesser silver content of 40% silver.
