Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10296)
One of the most common commemorative half dollars from the 1892-1954 era is the 1936 Cleveland half dollar, marking the 100th anniversary of Cleveland's incorporation. This commemorative, designed by Brenda Putnam, depicts on its obverse Moses Cleveland, a politician and soldier from Connecticut who founded the Ohio city of Cleveland in 1796.
Vast numbers of this coin were made in two batches, one struck in July 1936 and the other minted months later February 1937 bearing the 1936 date. While the coins were offered to the public at $1.50 each, many held by coin dealers for years and are common in grades up to Gem. Most offer extraordinary luster and eye appeal.

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.
