Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10318)
The Iowa commemorative half dollar, celebrating the 100th anniversary of The Hawkeye State, saw a huge run of more than 100,000 pieces. The coin was designed by medalist Adam Pietz and was distributed via a numismatically unconventional system of a lottery for Iowa residents who could buy the coin for $2.50 or to anyone outside Iowa through banks for $3 apiece, with just 5,000 coins allocated for non-Iowans. Another 500 coins were held aside for sale during the state's 150th anniversary in 1996, during which they were sold for $500. Another batch of 500 coins plus those unsold from the 1996 sales reprisal await sale during Iowa's bicentennial in 2046.

Most Iowa half dollars are in excellent condition, and many are known in Gem grades up through MS67, with MS68s very rare but available for a price. MS69s are known but are extremely rare and worth fantastic premiums. Most survivors of offer excellent luster.

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.
