We have acquired a large hoard of 1964 Kennedy Halves for our new Overstrike series. We are overstriking them with images of famous U.S. coinage obverses and a common reverse that celebrates the series. In the first product of the series, we have redated the iconic Peace Dollar with the current year (2024). We will issue a new product in the series each month and update the year on each design in subsequent years. In 2024, ONLY 250 pieces will be minted for each product.
About the Standing Liberty:
The Standing Liberty Quarter is a 25-cent coin the United States Mint struck from 1916 to 1930. It succeeded the Barber quarter, which had been minted since 1892. American sculptor Hermon Atkins MacNeil designed the coin, which features the goddess of Liberty on one side and an eagle in flight on the other.
- Weight: 12.50 Grams (90% AG, 10% CU)
- Obverse: Standing frontal view of Lady Liberty bearing a shield, right hand holding a drapery, and bearing an olive branch, with the date (2024) below.
- Reverse: “OVERSTRIKE SERIES” above and below the obverse image of the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar with the Intaglio Mint Logo flanked by stars on the left and right. “1964 KENNEDY HALF,” “12.50 GRAMS,” TOTAL MINTAGE: 250,” “90% AG,” and “10% CU” around the outer circumference.
Note to collectors: Because this product is overstruck on another coin that has spent 60 years in circulation, each item will be unique and have its own characteristics. Some will be brighter than others, and the position of the devices, both overstruck and original will also differ from one to another.
