Owner's Comments
Unique toning on both reverse and obverse.
Purchased from JMS coins at the 2026 World;s Fair of Money Convention in Pittsburgh.
Description from a similar coin on collectors corner: The 1964-D Kennedy half dollar, the only branch mint circulation issue struck in the original 90% silver alloy and the sole Denver Mint example with the mintmark placed beside the reverse branch stem, is a significant one-year type that becomes a true condition rarity at the MS67+ level. This pristine Superb Gem sits firmly within the Condition Census and offers exceptional technical quality paired with dramatic visual appeal. The obverse and reverse shows radiant satiny mint luster glows beneath vivid peripheral bands of orange-red, molten gold, ocean-blue, and soft lavender iridescence that frame the portrait in a full crescent of premium album-style color, leaving the central devices brilliant and highly contrasted. Surface preservation is outstanding throughout, with immaculate fields, vibrant cartwheel brilliance, and superior eye appeal that easily supports the Plus designation. With a PCGS Price Guide value of $2,750 and a population of just 18, with only one finer coin which sold for $22,325 in 2016. A less attractive example sold for $2,520 09/24 HA. This toned MS67+ example represents an elite opportunity for the advanced Kennedy half dollar specialist seeking the finest branch mint silver type with exceptional originality and color. QA approved.

The 1964-P and D Kennedy Half Dollars were composed of 90% silver, therefore making them a one year type. The following years, or from 1965 to 1970 circulation strike Kennedy Half Dollars were struck in 40% silver.
The 1964-D tends to be better struck than the 1964-P as there is atleast one known example grading up to MS68 condition for the 1964-D.
