1922 G$1 Grant, No Star MS65 认证号60156243, PCGS号7458

Ulysses S. Grant was born in a small frame house April 27, 1822 at Mount Pleasant, Ohio. Grant spent most of his life doing work he dreaded. He failed at farming, at his family's job of tanning, as a salesman, even as President of the United States. Grant, though not dishonest, had one of the most incompetent and corrupt administrations since Clinton. Grant failed miserably at almost everything but, he did win at Fort Donnellson, at Shiloh, and eventually defeated Lee at Appomattox bringing about the end of the War Between the States. Two commemorative coins, gold dollars and silver half dollars, were minted in 1922 on the 100th aniversary of his birth. Both coins are identical in design with and without a star above his name. On the obverse of the coins is a portrait of Grant in his army uniform. On the reverse depicts his frame house were he was born at Point Pleasant, Ohio. The half dollar with the star is one of the rarest and most valuable of all the silver commemorative issues. The gold dollars are rare with or without star with mintage about 5,000 for each type. The Grant dollars can be easily found in pristine gem condition for a hefty price, but the half dollars, especially those with stars are quite elusive. Counterfiets are abundant for both the half dollars with star and both gold dollars. Certification of authenticity should be sought by a third party grading service before purchase of Grant gold dollars or Grant half dollar with star

The Grant Gold Dollar is one of the several coins honoring the 100th anniversary of the birth of the 18th American President, Ulysses S. Grant.  The several coins included silver Half Dollars (with and without a star punched into the obverse die) and gold Dollars (with and without the extra obverse star).  With a mintage of a mere 5,000 pieces, this is an extremely popular, collectible coin.  The survival rate is extremely high -- bordering on 100% -- and many of the survivors are in excellent condition.  According to the PCGS Population Report, the bulk of the survivors grade out at MS64, MS65, and MS66.  The ultimate grade for this issue is MS67, and even at that level, over 150 examples are available to collectors.
