"Brilliant Uncirculated" refers to a coin that has never been in circulation and retains its original mint luster, showing no signs of wear.

Authenticity can be verified through professional grading services like PCGS or NGC, or by consulting with a trusted coin dealer.

The 1964-D was one of the first Kennedy Half Dollars minted and is notable for being made of 90% silver, which was changed in later years.
