Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10395)
The 1952 Washington-Carver half dollars mark the second year of four years for this multiple-year commemorative type. The obverse features -- jugate portrait of social-reform contemporaries Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, the former an author and presidential advisor and the latter -- scientist and advisor. The coin was designed by Isaac Scott Hathaway, who became the first African American to design -- U.S. coin upon the release of the Booker T. Washington half dollar in 1946.

Washington-Carver halves were minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco in 1952, and all of these pieces are considered quite common. They are especially so in uncirculated grades, with the vast majority encountered in the grades of MS62 through MS65. Examples grading MS66 are scarce and those in MS67 or higher are rare.
Obverse: Features overlapping portraits of George W. Carver and Booker T. Washington with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and E PLURIBUS UNUM on the outer periphery. The inner periphery bears the names of those honored along with the words HALF DOLLAR. The date is presented to the left of the portraits at 9 o'clock.
Reverse: Depicts a map of the United States with the letters U.S.A. overprinted. The periphery bears the words FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL * AMERICANISM.

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.
