Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10223)

The 1937 Half dollar is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1892-1954. The specific variety is Antietam. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 18,028 struck.
The 1937 Battle of Antietam half dollar is one of a few classic commemorative coins with Civil War themes. The Antietam half dollar honors the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, which unfolded in Sharpsburg, Maryland, and saw more than 20,000 casualties, including the deaths of nearly 3,700 soldiers between Union and Confederate armies. The coin, designed by William Marks Simpson, features an obverse jugate portrait of Union General George B. McClellan and Confederate General Robert E. Lee, while the reverse depicts the iconic Burnside Bridge, a central scene of action in what was one of the Civil War's bloodiest battles.

The Battle of Antietam half dollar was sold for $1.65 each by the Washington County Historical Society though fewer than half of the 50,000 authorized pieces were sold, with only 18,028 pieces distributed. Today, this issue is overall quite scarce as compared to other classic commemoratives. However, Gem examples are relatively plentiful, with many MS65s and MS66s in the marketplace. Pieces grading MS67 are decidedly scarce, and those in MS68 or 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.
