Imagine holding a piece of American history between your fingers every time you strum.
This guitar pick isn’t just silver — it’s forged from an original 1964 JFK Half Dollar, minted the same year America lost its youngest president.
It’s a moment of cultural pride, tragedy, and hope — reborn into something that speaks to artists and patriots alike.
Play it. Hold it. Pass it down.
Because real music deserves real soul.
The JFK Half Dollar was first struck in 1964 — just months after President Kennedy’s assassination — as a tribute to his legacy.
Struck in 90% silver for only one year (later years were copper-nickel clad)
Designed by Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts (obverse) and Frank Gasparro (reverse)
Instantly beloved — more than 400 million struck in the first year alone
Using a 1964 coin means you’re carrying the only real silver version — not a modern replica or watered-down commemorative.
Real 1964 90% silver JFK Half Dollars only — no later mixed-metal junk
Forged and shaped by hand — not stamped, cast, or mass-produced
Preserves key elements of the original coin’s design — slight hints of Kennedy’s profile or lettering may still whisper through the silver
Playable and durable — designed for real use or proud display
Every pick we create bridges the gap between craftsmanship, music, and memory.
Approximate size: between a standard Fender medium and heavy pick
Smooth beveled edges for authentic playing feel
Weightier than standard plastic — you'll feel the difference immediately
Minor imperfections or character marks — each piece tells its own story
Music has always been a voice for freedom.
Now you can play a piece of history — in every note.
Every piece we make is handcrafted from a real historic coin.
We're a veteran-run workshop that believes in honoring the past through American craftsmanship.
