D. 1964 jfk
Asked on May 28, 2024
Two very important things happened in 1964. The first is that the US government made 90% silver coins for the last time for regular circulating pieced. Special legislation was passed to put JFK on the half dollar, nothing like that had ever been done with so little time passing between the death of the president and the appearance on our coinage. The very popularity of this coin may have killed the denomination in the end. So many people set these aside that they never really circulated. That's why they are almost always in about uncirculated condition. We buy these for three dollars and sell them for five at shows. Oh and the other important thing that happened in 1964? I was born on February 25.
