Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10316)

The 1935 Half dollar is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1892-1954. The specific variety is Hudson. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 10,008 struck.
The 1935 Hudson half dollar commemorates the small city in Upstate New York whose 150th anniversary is honored on this coin designed by Chester Beach. The Hudson half dollar is a coin wrapped in controversies -- the types that led to the demise of the entire program in the 1950s.

One story suggests that a some individual, perhaps a dealer, bought some 7,500 examples of the coin, issued for $1, at a discounted price of 95 cents each. This individual held about 75% of the coin's entire mintage while collectors, having great difficulty in locating the coin, assumed the Hudson half dollar was scarce. Aftermarket prices approached $10 before the hoarder began distributing the coins at an incredible profit. Today, most Hudson halves are encountered in the grades of MS62-65, with MS66s proving quite scarce and examples in MS67 or higher 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.
