Lot 1872
1922 Grant Half Dollar, No Star. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. Impressive natural rainbow toning. A coin that could be a run-a-way. Stored in an old brown envelope for over 60 years. Ulysses S. Grant, Civil War general and later president, died in 1885. His birth in 1822 is commemorated here by the artist Laura Gardin Fraser after a photograph by the famed Civil War photographer, Matthew Brady. Grant was born in a traditional frame house of the period, but this has come down to us as a "log cabin." The house depicted is correct (PCGS # 9306) .
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
