Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10309)
Arising during the most prolific year of new issues during the classic commemorative era, the 1936 Elgin half dollar honors the centennial of the moderately sized northern Illinois city. The coin, designed by Elgin sculptor and native Trygve A. Rovelstad, was issued to fund a memorial to local pioneer families. The obverse features the bust of a pioneer while the reverse depicts a pioneer family consisting of four adults and a baby.
The flattish surfaces of the Elgin half dollar are susceptible to marks and other detractions, but many Gems survive with lustrous surfaces. The bulk of Elgin half dollars are found in grades of MS63-67, though pieces grading MS68 or higher are quite rare and elusive.

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.
