Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10355)

The 1920 Half dollar is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1892-1954. The specific variety is Pilgrim. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 152,112 struck.
The 1920 Pilgrim half dollar honors the 300th anniversary of the first pilgrims landing in Plymouth, Massachusetts, after their trans-Atlantic voyage on the legendary ship known as the Mayflower. The Pilgrim half dollar was designed by Cyrus Dallin, whose initial D under the pilgrim's elbow on the obverse indicates the initial of his last name and is not a D mintmark from the Denver Mint. The reverse of this coin features the Mayflower in grand detail. This issue was struck for two years, with the 1920 specimens showing no date. Those made the following year, in 1921, do show a date.

A little better than half of the survivors are estimated to be in uncirculated condition, though grade between MS62 and MS64, with Gems grading MS65 or higher quite scarce. Many are heavily -- often unattractively -- toned. This, or course, is not an unusual grade spread for early, pre-1930 commemorative half dollars as they were not always so well preserved and a great many were spent, especially after the nation plunged into the depths of the Great Depression.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
