1922 Grant With Star Half Dollar, MS66
Lustrous and Well-Preserved

1922 50C Grant With Star MS66 PCGS. Ex: Young Collection. According to Dave Bowers, in Commemorative Coins of the United States (1991): "The 1922 Grant 'star' half dollar in Mint State is one of the very rarest pieces of the series simply because the mintage was low and most pieces did not sell to collectors."

Early in the life of the Grant With Star half dollar obverse die, it clashed, and was then lapped by the press operator. As a result, most examples display prominent obverse die polish lines along with clash marks near the nose and chin. The present high-grade and satiny example is from that die state. Peripherally toned golden-brown, rose-red, and lavender, this Premium Gem specimen is pleasingly lustrous and minimally abraded. Population: 40 in 66 (5 in 66+), 5 finer (12/14).(Registry values: N4719)
