Commemorative Silver
1922 50C Grant With Star MS67 PCGS Secure. CAC. This Superb Gem Grant With Star half dollar is among five such submissions at PCGS, and there are none finer. Given the popularity of the classic 1892-1954 commemorative silver series of U.S. coins and the Grant With Star's longstanding status as one of the keys to the complete set, this is a piece that should see spirited bidding when it crosses the auction block.
The 1922 Grant With Star was created as a stockkeeping unit, a marketing ploy, although such terms may not have existed when the variety was created. In short, the reason the issue was created was "to sell more coins."
Abrasions are simply a nonissue on this coin, as even a loupe reveals only some interesting die-polishing lines in the fields, as made, that increase the mint luster. The strike is sometimes weak on the hair of General Grant -- again a nonissue here, with a wealth of detail in that area. Excellent luster and light patina ranges from glints of gold to pinkish-blue on what is among the finest survivors available. Population: 5 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 67, 0 finer (6/17).
