The story of this 1964 Half dollar is far from ordinary. Within months of President Kennedy's assasination this coin had already been approved for striking dies were being made. This coin is plentiful for two reasons: collectors wanted the new coin with the recently deceased president on it and because the general public was hoarding silver because of its rising value. Many were saved and they go for about $8.50 in MS-63 redardless of the mint where it was made.
