AU details (polished)
the only value remaining is the silver content

Agree--mid to high end AU. Can't comment on the 'details' aspect since I cannot examine the coin in-hand. Interesting toning.

Panzaldi you made me go pull out about 15, 64 Kennedys and I can see where you are getting that thought, but I don't think it's polished but could be. Die polish lines are abundant though. Can you give a little more info on your thought?

the toning looks man-made to me. It reminds me of the sheen you get from a drop of motor oil in a puddle after a nice rain.

Appreciate the response pacificoin, I have a pretty wild pcgs sp66 sms Roosevelt full coin toner that could argue questionable color. I think a lot of younger people getting into coins are ok or even like questionable colors, whether or not that's smart, it seems to be a thing.

May be a thing but certainly not wise or profitable.
Send this pictured one or a similar coin to the graders and you will be extremely disappointed when it is returned Details questionable colour . Give it a Try and let us know how it works out for you . ANACS would cost you the least amount to find out . PCGS or NGC would light fire to at least 60 to 70 all in .

Again thank you for the response pacificoin, always appreciate the feedback. I wouldn't ever send a 64 Kennedy in for grading especially this one. I just thought this would be a good opinion coin to post.

AU details, questionable color. Your coin might be showing die polishing lines on the obverse.
Errers and Varietys.

I see an AU condition coin with questionable color toning.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

MS-63. I see lots of die polish lines from an early strike. I have one like this that I stood in line for on the first day of issue Apr 8, 1964. They were only allowing one coin per customer at a BoA I had an account at. Great coin!

You are saying that is how the B of A gave out the
1964 Halves at one per customer ?
Strange if true . Those snap lock holders were
how the Halves were RETAILED by coin dealers
and department stores in the US and other countries .
Mine was acquired at WOODWARDS Department
store IN Vancouver BC April 1964 @ $1.29. CAD
which was about 1.20 USD at the time .
Don't think banks were doling them out in fancy
holders at face value.
