1922 $1 Grant - No Star

Mintage: 5,000
Designer: Laura Gardin Fraser

This souvenir gold commemorative is the one of the two varieties of the 1922 Grant $1 Gold Commemorative. Today nearly all known Grant gold dollars are in varying degrees of Mint State, evidence that very few were ever sold to the general public. The value of the 1922 "plain" gold dollar in relation to the 1922 Grant $1 Gold with star has varied over the years. The "plain" coins were sold for $3.00 in April 1922 while the Grant gold dollars with the star were sold for $3.50 each. Trial pieces of the gold dollars exist in white metal and brass, there is no kept record of any location of these.
