1922 Grant Dollar, With Star. PCGS graded MS-67. Rich, deep yellow-golden toning blankets each side of this carefully preserved specimen. The frosty textured surfaces feature a bold strike on both sides and there are no mentionable surface marks or spots. An example certainly worthy of the assigned Superb Gem grade status.

In order to sell extra Grant Commemoratives to the public, the commission releasing these arrogated to themselves a lesson learned from the Alabama commission people the year before. They had the mint stamp a tiny star into the obverse field above the word GRANT. A total of 4,256 pieces were so counterpunched while each coin was in the die so as not to cause a flat spot to appear on the opposite side. Only a few people were hoodwinked by this sly trick. Today's collector, therefore, has very few nice Grant with Star examples from which to choose. The present coin is far better than most. Pop 245; 7 finer, 6 in 67+, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 7459) .
Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700.
