40% Silver Kennedy Half Dollars

When the US Mint abandoned silver coinage, they didn't do it all at once. The Kennedy half dollars, or 50 cent pieces, were minted using 40% silver from 1965 - 1976. Meanwhile, dimes and quarters which had been 90% silver otherwise referred to as a junk silver coin, were produced as clad coins with zero silver content starting in 1965.

The Kennedy half dollar silver coins featuring John F. Kennedy were first issued in 1964, at 90% purity. Production began just prior to the decision to eliminate the silver standard in United States Mint coins. These circulating coins were designed to honor Kennedy who was assassinated in November 1963. Congress authorized the new design within a month of Kennedy's death and the Mint began production in January 1964.

Kennedy Half Dollar Coins did not circulate very successfully. Americans tended to hoard the Kennedy silver coins, because of the precious metals content, making the coin values increase. They also felt that the JFK Half Dollars, were a memento of the popular president and therefore considered them to be more of a commemorative coin versus money. Later, the rising silver price resulted in many of these coins being melted and converted to other silver bullion products

The good news for silver investors is that these Kennedy Silver Half Dollar coins often have less wear than the more popular 90% silver coins, which circulated more widely over a longer period of time. And they are almost always the cheapest option when it comes to silver, especially when it comes to official US silver coinage.

The 40% half dollar coin will often sell at a discount to their melt value. That's right, 40% Kennedy halves are just about the only way for someone coin collecting or investing in precious metals. They are not always available, but when inventory is available it tends to move quickly!

Nice Purse
Color: Pure Black
I love this purse! It has lots of room and pockets for its size. I appreciate that the zipper and accents are black and not gold or silver as it just seems to blend in nicely. I also like that my phone fits perfectly in the front pocket for easy access.

Great Travel Purse
Color: Pure Black
This purse is a great size and shape with excellent pockets. I use it mostly for travel because it’s not too heavy. If I could change anything it would be the color of the lining to a lighter or brighter color and to tack the lining down more securely. Otherwise it’s a very good purse.

Zippers broke in just about a year making the bag unusable.
Color: Black Brown
I purchased this bag in March of 2025. In just over a year both zippers broke, and I was unable to fix them or use the bag. I don't expect a handbag to last forever but a year for both top zippers to break is a bit much. I would not buy this item again.
