Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10260)
The 1938 Boone commemorative half dollars mark the fifth and final year of this commemorative series, one marked by controversy as described in detail with the 1935 and 1937 issues -- stories well worth the read. Suffice it to say, the Boone commemorative half dollars, designed by Augustus Lukeman and marking the 200th anniversary of American folk hero and Kentucky pioneer Daniel Boone, were well intended but were the subject of great market and financial manipulation by Secretary of the Boone Commission Frank C. Dunn.
The last year of issue for the Boone half dollars was fairly unceremonious, with a small run of 2,100 pieces sold in sets of three for $6.50 The three-piece set include one example each of a Boone half dollar from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. All of these coins are about equally scarce today, though the 1938-D issue seems to surface in the marketplace with greater frequency than the Philly or S-Mint examples from that year. Most 1938 Boones are encountered in MS63-66 grades, with examples grading MS67 or higher relatively rare -- especially for the 1938 Philly piece. These coins generally boast nice 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.
