About 1947 B.T. Wash. Silver Commemoratives
The 1947 Booker T. Washington halves mark the second year of issue for this long-running commemorative type that continued until 1951. The issuance of the Booker T. Washington half dollar came at an important time for the civil rights scene, when the battle to end segregation was building steam just after the end of the World War II. The Booker T. Washington half dollar was designed by Isaac Scott Hathaway, a noted African American artist and the first black person to design a U.S. commemorative coin.
BTW half dollars were struck at all three of the-then operating mints in the United States, including those at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. All of the BTW half dollars are common, even in uncirculated grade – in fact, most are known in the grades of MS62 to MS65. Examples grading MS67 are rare, a fact perhaps not surprising given how flat the coin’s overall design is.

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.
