1922 G$1 Grant, Star MS65 认证号04662348, PCGS号7459

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
