Arkansas 50c MS
Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 193362)
The Arkansas commemorative half dollars honor the 100th anniversary of Arkansas' admission to the Union, which occurred in 1836. However, the debut of the Arkansas halves happened a year before the centennial, in 1935. The Arkansas half dollars were designed by Everett Burr and the dies were prepared by Emily Bates. The obverse bears an eagle and rays, while the reverse of most Arkansas half dollars feature a jugate image of a Native American chief of 1836 and an American woman of 1935.
Like many commemorative types of the 1930s, the Arkansas half dollars were issued over the course of several years. In this case issues were dated and released from 1935-1939.
Obverse: A double portrait of Liberty and Native American Chieftain with the words ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL at the bottom periphery.

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.
