I just received in the mail a roll of junk silver which included a '64 Kennedy half dollar. This coin is very distinctly golden in tone and in very nice condition. I checked my Red Book but cant seem to identify it. Any assistance is appreciated.

was it plated? I found one once that had gold plating, see if it is flaking off arround the edges. If not it could be just odd natural/artificial toning

Have to see what it is before I can possibly give you any answer as to what your coin might be.

Thanks.

I have seen lots of gold toned, plated, even painted halves. The same with dimes. Anodized, chrome plated, etc....anything colored would tend to be produced post mint I'm pretty sure.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I do not know if your coin looks like one I have found, I have one, 1964, with just Mr.Kennedy's entire bust in gold, is that what your coin shows?

......there is no "golden" '64 kennedy in any way, shape, or form produced at the Mint.
But you could weigh it and see if it was plated......

I have seen a few third party places plating stuff and re issuing it for more money.
