1922 Grant Memorial Half Dollar

1922 Grant Memorial Half Dollar

Discover the fascinating story behind the 1922 Grant Memorial Half Dollar, one of the most unique and sought-after coins in U.S. commemorative coin history. In this episode of Coins & Coins & Coins, we dive deep into the historical significance, rare varieties, and collectible value of this classic silver half dollar issued to honor the 100th birthday of President Ulysses S. Grant.

Minted in Philadelphia and designed by acclaimed sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser, this coin features a striking portrait of Grant and his Ohio log cabin home. But what truly sets it apart is the mysterious "star" variety—an unplanned minting quirk that created one of the rarest U.S. commemorative coins ever released.

Whether you're a seasoned numismatist or a new coin collector, you'll learn about the coin’s origin, the reason behind its two varieties ("with star" vs. "no star"), and how these differences impact market value. We also touch on how some coins ended up in circulation during the Great Depression, adding even more intrigue to their history.

If you’re interested in rare coins, U.S. silver half dollars, or simply love exploring American history through money, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
