1922 Grant No Star Gold Dollar PCGS MS68

dyann

The Grant gold dollars and silver half dollars were issued on behalf of the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association, and that entity selected Laura Gardin Fraser to prepare the designs. A notice appeared in the January 24, 1922 issue of The Cincinnati Enquirer:
There will be minted 10,000 $1 gold pieces and 250,000 silver half dollars, the first to sell for $2.50 each and the second for $1 each. This fund will assure the tri-fold purposes of the association which is interested in the construction of a memorial highway from this city to the east along the Ohio River. After the minting the dies will be destroyed, thus giving the coins a high numismatic value.”

This is one of only two examples to have received this grade from PCGS with none graded higher. Listed at $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.

1922-S Peace Dollar PCGS MS66

Sirhc

Only 1 Graded Higher

The San Francisco issue is the scarcest of the three 1922 Peace dollars, especially in Mint State. The fact that its mintage of nearly 17.5 million pieces exceeds that of the 1922-D by more than 1.5 million pieces is a non-factor. Throughout the Peace dollar series there is an unbroken rule that for each year this denomination was coined, the San Francisco issue is rarer in Gem or better grades than either the Philadelphia or Denver counterparts. Mintage totals play no part in this. Many researchers suggest the lower survival rate of S-mint dollars in high grade is due to more active circulation on the West Coast, and in some cases bags of Uncirculated coins still in government vaults were just moved more frequently, reducing the grades of the coins contained. This Gem is noticeably brighter when viewed up close and personal. The PCGS population is just 20 with a single (MS66+) example graded higher.

This one is extremely lustrous and semi-prooflike in appearance.

1922 Grant Star Gold Dollar NGC MS68

Sirhc

Stupendous

Among the many distinctions of artist Laura Gardin Fraser is that she was the only woman to design a classic gold commemorative, the Grant gold dollar. (In the modern era, Chief Engraver Elizabeth Jones designed the Statue of Liberty five dollar.) The two Grant gold dollar sub-types are of roughly equal rarity overall. This particular example dazzles with brilliant luster, wonderful eye appeal and virtually impeccable surfaces. The NGC population of just 10 with 2 higher.
