Kennedy Silver Half Dollar Lot 450 Coins P D-40%

For your consideration, we have a Kennedy Silver Half Dollar Lot of 450 Coins. The Kennedy half dollars, or 50 cent pieces, were minted using 40% silver from 1965 – 1970. The Kennedy half dollar silver coins featuring John F. Kennedy were first issued in 1964, at 90% purity. Production began just prior to the decision to eliminate the silver standard in United States Mint coins. These circulating coins were designed to honor Kennedy who was assassinated in November 1963. Congress authorized the new design within a month of Kennedy’s death and the Mint began production in January 1964.
