Following the death of President John F. Kennedy, the US Mint discontinued the production of the Franklin Half Dollar in order to launch a new half dollar to honor the fallen president. The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar launched with great success. Struck with 90% Silver, this new half dollar was more than just a coin, it was a memorial to a beloved American icon.
