It's raining Grants

Grant w/star


This goes nicely with the no star that I secured a short while ago. The earrings

Grant no star

    I'm a little surprised it got the gold bean with that scratch, but an attractive coin otherwise.

    The dude fought in the civil war. Surly you didn’t think he would make it through completely unscathed? You should see his liver

    m

    :D

    You mean his lungs - he smoked >20 cigars today. After he won the battle of Shiloh, newspapers published descriptions of him smoking and people sent him cigars from all over the country.

    (He did die of throat cancer, almost certainly related.)

    That as well. He was a notorious binge drinker but I have a feeling anyone who fought in that war should have been. Maybe not quite the “ drunk” some would have him out to be

    Regardless, he is one of my favorite Americans to ever grace our land

    Anyone know why there are star and no-star varieties? Checked my MEGA and it didn't have any insight on the topic. Wondering if there is any significance to the difference.

    I believe it was an attempt to get people to buy essentially the same commem twice by creating a variety. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The scarcity of the w/star variety indicates this idea was not terribly successful. :)

    Mintage of the gold star and no star coins was about the same. The difference is with the silver issues.

    The same nonsense happened with plenty of other commems too. The 1920 and 1921 Pilgrim comes to mind.

    I share your admiration of Grant. Great, complex American leader -- his memoirs are outstanding.
    Love the coins - great luster on both.
