- 1922 Grant Memorial. Star. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. This attractively toned and fully original example exhibits uncommonly smooth surfaces for this conditionally challenging type. Boldly lustrous with a soft satin finish, there is much to recommend this coin to the quality conscious collector. Issued to mark the centenary of Ulysses S. Grant's birth, commemoratives of this design type were produced in both half dollar and gold dollar denominations. Some examples of both denominations exhibit a small star in the right obverse field. This feature has no known significance and seems to have been added to create different types that would require contemporary collectors to acquire two examples of each denomination. With a net mintage of just 4,250 coins distributed, the Grant With Star half dollar is a key date issue in the classic commemorative series, particularly in the finest Mint State grades, as here. Provenance: From the George J. Marx Collection, completed primarily in the 1930s. PCGS# 9307. NGC ID: BYPP. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
