1936 50c Bridgeport MS67
Greysheet & CPG® PRICE GUIDE
The 1936 Bridgeport, Connecticut, centennial marks the 100th anniversary of the historic seaport city in the Constitution State. The Bridgeport half dollar, designed by Henry Kreis, is carried by an obverse bust of one of Connecticut's most famous residents, Phineas Taylor Barnum. He is famous for many things, including his years in politics and his cofounding of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. Bridgeport half dollars were sold for $2 each and are fairly common in most grades, though pieces grading MS67 are relatively rare. The art-deco eagle on the reverse has a large, flat surface on its wing, and this section of the coin is highly susceptible to marks. Buyers should pay close attention to the wing when inspecting coins for purchase. Luster and overall eye appeal on this coin is usually pretty good.

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.
