90% silver half dollars are United States half dollar coins minted before 1965, which contain 90% silver content. These coins were a common form of currency in circulation until the mid-1960s when the composition of US coins began to shift due to the rising price of silver.
After 1964, the silver content in US coins was reduced significantly due to the Coinage Act of 1965, which eliminated silver from most circulating coins. Since then, half dollars have been composed of a copper-nickel clad composition.
These coins are sold in $1.00 face value increments. By adding 1 to your cart, you will receive 2 coins.
