CDN Publishing

Since its inception in 1963, the Greysheet has continuously evolved to better serve the needs of dealers in the coin industry. As it grew into an essential resource for these dealers, there was a growing demand for even more detailed information. Over the past thirty years, the coin market has undergone significant transformations, and the CDN has adapted alongside these changes. As grading standards evolved, the Greysheet updated its pricing to align with the new grading definitions. Initially, in 1963, it was enough to include columns for XF and Uncirculated grades only. However, by 1972, columns for Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) and Gem BU (MS65) were introduced, followed by the addition of MS63 columns in 1981. By early 1986, the Greysheet included a column for MS64, coinciding with the Professional Coin Grading Service's decision to utilize all numbers from MS60 to MS70, further broadening the scope of the publication.

On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, attended a play, “Our American Cousin,” at Ford’s Theater in Washington, DC.
