I have found a few 1964 and 1964-D silver half dollars in rolls or loose coins obtained at face value from banks and this one was especially nice. It was in a hand-wrapped roll along with circulated coins including ordinary clad Kennedy halves and a few worn silver Franklins.

I suspect the mark by Kennedy's nose is a deal-breaker but otherwise I think this half is a near-gem. Luster is very strong and I see no trace of wear. Other than the scattered contact marks (much more obvious in the photos than in-hand) there are no defects. How would CCF members grade this coin?

Decent strike,,,looks like friction marks on Mr. Kennedy's,cheek....Lots of rim and field dings.....but hey,,it's a nice 90% half! probablly would be viewed as a slider....maybe as high as MS-62,though....

I agree with the assessments above, low MS, 61 or 2.
Amazing how the nicks and hits show when a coin gets enlarged.
I'm sure he's a beauty in hand.
