The 1922 Grant Star Commemorative Half Dollar was issued as a tribute to Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States and one of the nation’s most respected Civil War leaders. This commemorative coin is especially well known for the small star that appears above the word “GRANT” on select examples, creating two collectible varieties that are often separated by specialists. This particular 1922 Grant Star Commemorative Coin is one of just 1,684 surviving specimens, according to the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Right now, the 1922 Grant Star Commemorative Silver Half Dollar is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1922 Grant Star Commemorative Silver Half Dollar is offered in MS64 condition. The typical MS64 specimen offers quite attractive eye appeal with at least average luster for its age. Several small contact marks in groups may be present, as well as one or two heavier marks. One or two small patches of hairlines may be visible on the coin as well.
This commemorative coin was issued to recognize the 100th anniversary of Grant’s birth in 1822. It celebrates his lasting role in American history, both as a commanding general who helped preserve the Union during the Civil War and as president during the difficult Reconstruction period that followed.
The obverse of the 1922 Grant Star Half Dollar showcases a right-facing portrait of Ulysses S. Grant created by sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser. Grant’s name is inscribed along the upper rim of the design, and on certain specimens, a five-pointed star appears above the lettering, creating the well-known “Star” variety that collectors seek out.
On the reverse of the 1922 Grant Star Commemorative Coin is an image of Grant’s humble birthplace, a simple log cabin located in Point Pleasant, Ohio. The cabin is rendered with modest detail, reflecting the quiet beginnings of a man who would later rise to national prominence through his military service and political leadership.
