1935 50c Connecticut MS63
Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE
The 1935 Connecticut Tercentenary half dollar was struck to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the founding of colony of Connecticut in 1635. The one-year type coin, designed by Henry Kreis, depicts on its obverse the famous Charter Oak, a large white oak tree in the Connecticut city of Hartford; legend says the Connecticut charter was hidden in the grand tree's trunk when King James II sent Royal Governor of the Dominion Sir Edmond Andros to revoke the charter granted by King Charles II. These popular commemorative coins were sold for $1 each and remain popular today as scarce, but not rare, collectibles. Most examples are known in uncirculated grades, though finding true Gems can be tough because of the large flat surfaces on the reverse across the eagle's wing -- a place where nicks and marks are commonplace. Still, MS65s are plentiful and MS66s are scarce. Examples grading MS67 or higher are rare.

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.
