Kennedy Half Dollar 1964 Liberty Coin Ring

A ring that makes a statement - and a salute.

This is no ordinary ring. Handmade from a genuine 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, this striking piece is a wearable slice of American history - a bold tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century.

Crafted from 90% silver (a composition used for just one year), these coins became instant collector’s items, hoarded and rarely seen in circulation. Now, they’re reborn as rare, weighty coin rings - forged in memory, worn with pride.

With its deep ridged edges and substantial width, this ring commands attention without saying a word. It’s perfect for those who appreciate historical depth, distinctive style, and meaningful craftsmanship.

Coin history: Why 1964 matters

1964 was the year America mourned and honored President John F. Kennedy - and this half dollar was created in his memory. Designed, approved, and minted within months of his assassination, it was instantly beloved by the public and quickly hoarded, rarely seen in circulation.

• 1964 is the only year JFK half dollars were struck in 90% silver

The creation process

Each ring takes several days to make, with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. I only use genuine, publicly circulated coins, rejecting any that are overly worn or damaged by time. 

Because of the handmade process and natural variations in minting years, each finished ring may differ slightly from the photos shown - that's what makes yours completely unique.
