[Danielle]

A 1964 Kennedy half dollar is a truly special coin, holding a significant amount of precious metal. You'll find that each one of these historic pieces contains 0.3617 troy ounces of pure silver.

What makes this particular year so valuable and sought-after by collectors and investors is its unique composition. The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was the only year the coin was minted for circulation with a 90% silver content. This high silver content sets it apart from all subsequent issues.

After 1964, the silver content in these half dollars was drastically reduced, and eventually eliminated altogether, making the 1964 coin a treasured piece of U.S. minting history. Holding a 1964 Kennedy half is holding not just a coin, but a valuable piece of silver from a bygone era of American currency.
