you can edit your first post and adjust the title.
the coin in question in not in a mint holder, this is an after market holder assembled by 'Capitol'. one can assume that the coin that was place in it wre treated or coated to give them a sheen.

I see nothing out of the ordinary, looks like a nice uncirculated 1964 D business strike half dollar.

The initials FG and the rays are from the accented hair variety but the I in liberty is from the normal hair type. The I has both serifs   |

Thanks for fixing it though but another question is that the designs don't match any I've seen so far. I've not seen the 2 markers the initials and the rays mixed with the I from the other reverse for 1964

The "I" and rays on your coin match those of a regular business strike half dollar, not the proof design.

That's what I mean though the I matches the regular strike and the initials and rays match the proof

Tjames, Capital holders were very popular in the '60s and '70s and a very wide variety were made. They are still being produced.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

There are some 1964-P proofs that are known as a transitional variety which have the normal non-accented hair obverse, but the reverse with the broken rays and the FG same as Accented hair.
I also understand there are some business strikes (P and D) with the same reverse which matches the Accented Hair reverse, but again they do not have the Accented Hair obverse. This would explain your 1964-D business strike with the same reverse as Accented Hair P proofs.
