Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10228)

The 1936-D Half dollar is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1892-1954. The specific variety is Arkansas. Struck in Denver and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 9,660 struck.
Arkansas half dollars commemorate the 100th anniversary of the admission of Arkansas to the Union in 1836. While the first Arkansas halves were released in and dated 1935, the series went on for five years, including 1936 -- the proper centennial of the Arkansas' statehood. Arkansas half dollars were designed by Everett Burr and their dies were prepared by Emily Bates of Arkansas. The obverse of the Arkansas half dollars features an eagle and rays.

In 1936, the Arkansas halves sported two reverses. One features a jugate image of a Native American chief of 1836 and an American woman of 1935; the other was engraved by Henry Kreis and features then-current Arkansas Governor Joseph T. Robinson. Known as the Arkansas-Robinson half dollar, these half dollars were struck only in 1936 and with a total distribution of 25,265 pieces.

While the Arkansas-Robinson halves were struck at the Philadelphia Mint, pieces with the 1935 jugate reverse with the Native American and American girl were made at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints and sold in three-piece sets for a price of $8.75. The vast majority are known in uncirculated grades ranging from MS62-66. And while mintages for the three 1936 Arkansas halves with the original reverse were virtually identical, the Philadelphia Mint pieces are much tougher in the Gem grades than the Denver and San Francisco issues. All three are extremely rare in grades above MS67.
Obverse: A double portrait of Liberty and Native American Chieftain with the words ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL at the bottom periphery.

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.
