The adoption of President John F. Kennedy’s bust on the US half dollar was one of the quickest turnarounds in American coining history. After the president was assassinated in November 1963, a new design for the half dollar was approved by January 1964 and initial production had specimens ready for release into circulation by March 1964.

On the obverse of 1964 90% Silver Kennedy Half Dollar coins is a depiction of President John F. Kennedy in left-profile relief. This image of Kennedy was developed in 1962 by Gilroy Roberts, the 9^th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint who held the position from 1948 until 1964.

The reverse face of 1964 90% Silver Kennedy Half Dollars comes with a modified version of the presidential seal. Based on the heraldic eagle, this image includes an American bald eagle with wings and legs spread out as the US national shield rests on its chest. One set of talons clutches an olive branch while the other clutches arrows. This design was created by Frank Gasparro, the 10^th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint who succeeded Roberts in early 1965 and served until early 1981.
