1964 Kennedy Half Dollar

The item is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar coin from the year 1964, housed in a small, square, clear plastic coin holder with a cream-colored plastic border. The coin appears to be made of silver, consistent with 1964 half dollars which were composed of 90% silver. The obverse of the coin displays a profile portrait of President John F. Kennedy, facing left. Inscriptions visible around the portrait include "LIBERTY" above and "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1964" below. The coin exhibits a bright, reflective surface with some signs of contact marks or light scratches consistent with circulation or handling. There is no significant toning or discoloration visible. The edges of the coin are not visible in this image. The plastic holder shows some minor surface dirt and wear, particularly along the edges and corners. No mint mark is clearly discernible on the obverse in this image, though a mint mark would affect the coin's value. The craftsmanship of the coin itself appears standard for a circulating US half dollar of this era. The presentation in the plastic holder suggests a degree of preservation or collection intent.
