1922 Grant Dollar, No Star. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC Approved. Light even golden toning. Another sterling-quality Gem that displays cascading luster on both sides. Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. At Ulysses' birth, his family had not decided on what to name him. Eventually, each member of the family wrote a name on a piece of paper and dropped it into a hat, according to historians. They drew the name Hiram Ulysses Grant from the hat, and that became his name. He was known as Ulysses to his family and friends. Ulysses attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. When Ulysses registered, his name appeared on West Point's records as Ulysses Simpson Grant, rather than Hiram Ulysses Grant. So, Ulysses changed his name to Ulysses Simpson Grant. He was known as U.S. Grant or "Uncle Sam" Grant. His good friends shortened this name and called him Sam (PCGS # 7458) . Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400. Categories: Commemorative Gold Coins
