1964 Kennedy Half Dollars Good Condition?

Most 64 Kennedy half dollars are worth their weight in silver. If you could post a photo, we would be able to tell what condition it is in.

 

As of today, March 25, a 1964 Kennedy contains $6.42 worth of silver at "spot" price, so $10 is not totally out of line, although I doubt if anyone on Coin Talk would pay more than $7+ due to postage and other expenses.

 

At my coin club auction they had a 1964 and 64 D offered at $14 total, or $7 each.
There were no bids.

 

I'm not surprised at a coin club auction, where's there's probably a pretty good selection of numismatic coins in that same price range, $10 to $25, and the buyers have a budget in mind, so the question becomes, where do I spend my coin budget first? Not on 90%...

 

$8, $15 in MS. This $130 at auction in MS the link says is unlikely for most MS Kennedy's.

 

Where to spend your coin budget? Pre 1933 gold.

 

I have attached 2, but found 8 at Walgreens. Only 1 appears to be in good condition, no major scratches etc.

 

Betwen Philly an Denver there were 429,509,450 minted. Lots to go around so I would just go for bullion value on this one.

 

One of the 8 has something different though:

One of the coins looks like it has a teardrop next to the 4 - I just got one of this super magnifying lens. It looks like wear and tear or is it obverse toning?

I would consider a 64 to be bullion. They were for sale at $6.88 on Friday at local b&m.

 

Agreed. Another benefit, due to the very short time they circulated, nearly all are full-weight bullion, nothing like the paper-thin early Mercury dimes, etc. Further, if you go to Europe or Asia, take a roll with you.

They make nice little gifts, and at the flea markets, you can sometimes make extraordinary trades with a few. "Everybody" knows Kennedy, and everybody knows they are 90%. Hard to believe he's been gone well over 50 years.

 

The above half dollar is only found on Proof examples, It is called an Accented Hair.

 

I recently picked up a 64 Proof for $12 (I know, the pics are terrible)

 

I sell circulated '64 halves for $7.50 over the counter. $10 is not so out of line.

 

BTW, welcome to CT.

 

For some reason, my pics didn't go through of the one I was referring to. I'll try again in a bit.
