You have to be careful today when buying 1964 and pre Kennedy half-dollars. The Chinese have been counterfeiting them, but there's an easy way to tell. If a half-dollar has an "S" mint mark on the obverse, no such mint mark was ever made in those half-dollars, they're fake. I think (if I remember correctly) that the authentic half-dollars have double letter mint marks...something like FB and GB, but I'd have to look it up to be sure.
Just avoid ANY pre-'64 Kennedy half-dollars that have an "S" mint mark, they are FAKE!!
My grandfather bought them IN 64 from the bank
Very good, long before the Chinese scammers even thought about counterfeiting them. I just bought 5 of them at a gun show recently, for $10 each.
