    Silver Guitar Pick from JFK Half Dollar

    Play History, Not Just Music

    📖 The Story

    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.

    🪙 About the Coin

    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.

    🔥 Why Our Silver Guitar Picks Are Different

    • 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.

    🎯 What to Expect

    • 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
