$1 FV 90% Silver 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars – BU: product overview
The first Kennedy half-dollar year
The Kennedy half dollar debuted in 1964, replacing the Franklin design after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. For this offering, 1964 identifies the first-year issue. It should not be grouped indiscriminately with later Kennedy halves, whose silver content and collector finishes can differ.
What distinguishes this offering
This is the Brilliant Uncirculated offering. It suits comparisons within the same issue and BU condition, rather than against a proof or a coin carrying a certified numerical grade.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I keep 1964 Kennedy halves separate from later dates?
The year is part of the product’s metal specification. This offer is for the 1964 90% silver issue; the Kennedy portrait also appears on later coins with different compositions.
Does $1 FV mean one coin or one ounce?
FV means combined face value. A $1 FV lot represents one dollar in the stated coin denominations, not one troy ounce and not necessarily one coin. Silver content depends on the coin type and wear.
Does BU mean a guaranteed MS70 coin?
No. Brilliant Uncirculated is a condition description, not a promise of MS70 certification. Surface marks and other differences can exist among uncirculated examples.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
