| Description: |
A lovely specimen in warm yellow-orange gold. The 1922 Grant gold dollar normally comes
this way, much to the consternation of a particular investor many years ago when the
grading services first became popular, and not many coins had been certified. Anthony
Swiatek repeated a tale in which many tens of thousands of dollars were spent for two gem
coins of this particular gold dollar type, by an investor who was unaware that choice
quality is the rule, not the exception, for Grant gold dollars. On the other hand, the
1905 Lewis and Clark gold dollar would be rare and exciting if found in a combination of
high grading number and suberb eye appeal. Again, it pays to know the territory.
