1922 Grant Memorial. No Star. MS-67 (PCGS).Gorgeous shades of pastel toning enhance the peripheries and the overall visual appeal of this satiny, well preserved Superb Gem. Sharply struck, and one of the most impressive examples of this Grant Memorial issue that we have ever seen. Destined for inclusion in a world-class collection of commemorative coins.The Grant Memorial half dollars and gold dollars of 1922 were issued to commemorate the centenary of the birth of the Civil War hero and former president, Ulysses S. Grant, who was born in Clermont County, Ohio. While the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association planned several community buildings and roads in Grants honor, only the short-lived festivities and these commemorative coins came to fruition.
