Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10220)
The Alabama commemorative half dollar honors the state's 100th anniversary of statehood. However, Alabama was admitted to the Union in 1819 meaning this centennial coin came essentially two years late. No matter, as these silver half dollars proposed by the Alabama Centennial Commissions Discussion were very popular coins and remain so today.

The obverse features a jugate portrait of Alabama's first governor, William Wyatt Bibb and then-current governor Thomas E. Kilby. Some Alabama half dollars feature 2X2 inscribed in the right obverse field above the stars and was slated to be a scarcer variety than the plain Alabama half dollar.

Plain Alabama half dollars have always been listed with substantially higher mintages than the 2X2 variety. Thus, the widely held belief is the plain variety is much more common than the Alabama 2X2. However, the 2X2 is encountered with relatively similar frequency as the plain variety. The major difference in rarity comes not in the absolute number of all Alabama 2X2s but rather their condition. While Gem Alabama 2X2s are scarce, plain Alabama half dollars are widely found in grades as high as MS65, with a decent supply of specimens grading higher still.

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.
