In March of 1964, the first half dollars issued in memory of beloved President John F. Kennedy were released. Struck in 90% silver, they honored our 35th president – whose service to our country had been cut short just a few months earlier. Remembered for his strength and commitment to service, his inaugural address included the inspirational phrase “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Now 58 years old, this Uncirculated silver half dollar comes presented in a holder featuring that memorable quote. A great gift for patriots.
