The value of a 100th anniversary Statue of Liberty Centennial coin depends on several factors, including the type of coin (half dollar, silver dollar, or gold half eagle), its condition (uncirculated or proof), and whether it has been certified and graded by a professional service like PCGS.
Here’s a breakdown of approximate values for the 1986 Statue of Liberty Centennial Commemorative Coins:
- Clad Half Dollar: Around $10 in MS65 or PR65.
- 1986-D Half Dollar in PCGS MS70: Around $150.

- 1986-S Silver Dollar: $130 in PCGS PR70DCAM.
- 1986-W Half Eagle: $615 in PCGS MS70.
Factors influencing value:
- Type of Coin: The coins were issued in three denominations: half dollar (copper-nickel clad), silver dollar (.900 fine silver), and gold half eagle ($5 gold coin, .900 fine gold).
- Condition/Grade: The higher the grade (e.g., MS70, PR70DCAM), the more valuable the coin will be.
- Certification: Coins graded and encapsulated by reputable services like PCGS typically command higher prices.
- Precious Metal Content: The silver dollar and gold half eagle coins have intrinsic value based on their metal content, in addition to their numismatic value.
- Rarity: While commonly encountered, specimens in top-end grades (MS70, PR70) are considerably scarcer and more sought after.
Note: Prices for these coins can fluctuate based on market demand and the current price of precious metals (for the silver and gold coins).
