1922 Grant No Star Gold Dollar PCGS MS68

dyann

The Grant gold dollars and silver half dollars were issued on behalf of the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association, and that entity selected Laura Gardin Fraser to prepare the designs. A notice appeared in the January 24, 1922 issue of The Cincinnati Enquirer:
There will be minted 10,000 $1 gold pieces and 250,000 silver half dollars, the first to sell for $2.50 each and the second for $1 each. This fund will assure the tri-fold purposes of the association which is interested in the construction of a memorial highway from this city to the east along the Ohio River. After the minting the dies will be destroyed, thus giving the coins a high numismatic value.”

This is one of only two examples to have received this grade from PCGS with none graded higher. Listed at $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $39,500

Rare 1805 Draped Bust Quarter Eagle

dyann

John Dannreuther makes the point that the “mintage figure for this year may be one of the firmest to date, as it is believed that all 1,781 coins delivered in 1805 were of that date… .” This was the only die pair used to strike those coins, and it was later employed in the production of 1806 BD-1 and BD-2 quarter eagles, 1807 BD-1 quarter eagles, and 1807 JR-1 dimes. The dual-denomination nature of the dies certainly adds to the appeal of this scarce issue. Only 100 to 150 pieces are thought to exist.

The PCGS population is just 2 with 9 graded higher.

Listed at $31,200 (in AU58) in the CDN CPG and $40,000 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $31,100
