Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10308)

The 1936 Half dollar is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1892-1954. The specific variety is Delaware. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 20,993 struck.
The 1936-dated Delaware half dollar were struck in 1937 and commemorate the 300th anniversary of Swedish colonists settling lands that now form Delaware. The coin was sold in 1938, exactly 300 years after the landing of the Dutch-built ship Kalmar Nyckel. While the ship adorns the reverse of the coin, the obverse depicts Old Swedes/Holy Trinity Church, built circa 1698 and still stands in Wilmington, Delaware, as the nation's oldest church building still used for worship as originally built.

The Delaware Tercentenary half dollar was designed by Carl L. Schmitz and was sold for $1.75. The coin is relatively scarce, and many uncirculated survivors boast semi-prooflike surfaces. Gems are plentiful in the marketplace, though marks in the broader flat surfaces of the ship's sails often keep the coins from grading into the Gem level. Coins grading MS67 of higher are rare.

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.
