Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 10213)

The 1926 Gold $2.50 is part of a series of Classic Commemorative coins struck from 1903-1926. The specific variety is Sesquicentennial. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% gold; 10% copper from a mintage of 46,019 struck.
The last of the classic gold commemorative coins celebrates the 150th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Issued during the nation's grand Sesquicentennial in 1926 and struck alongside a half dollar also honoring the Sesquicentennial, this gold quarter eagle designed by John R. Sinnock features an obverse standing figure of Miss Liberty, who holds a scrolled Declaration of Independence in one hand and the Torch of Freedom in her other hand. The reverse showcases Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

Many of these coins saw wear in circulation. However, more than half of the survivors are known in uncirculated condition in grades ranging from MS60 through MS65. Examples grading MS66 or higher are very scarce and command significant premiums.

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.
