1963–1964 Franklin Kennedy Half Dollar Proof 2-Coin Set
A Historic “Last and First” Silver Half Dollar Collection
This remarkable 2-coin set captures one of the most pivotal transitions in U.S. coinage history. Within days of President John F. Kennedy’s tragic assassination in 1963, plans were made to honor him on a new half dollar. In 1964, the Kennedy Half Dollar replaced the beloved Franklin Half, creating an unforgettable link between two iconic designs.
This collection includes:
-
1963 Franklin Half Dollar (Proof) – The final year of the Franklin design, struck in 90% silver.
-
1964 Kennedy Half Dollar (Proof) – The very first year of issue for the Kennedy Half Dollar, also struck in 90% silver.
Each coin is presented in Gem Proof condition with sharp details and brilliant mirrored surfaces, showcasing the artistry of their designs.
