commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12261 Posts	Posted 02/03/2025 09:04 am US commemorative coins are almost always sponsored by a non-Federal Government organization that look to sell its coin for more than face value to raise money. In the early 1920s, there were several instances of a second variety of a coin being created for an organization by incorporating a small change to the coin's design. First up is the 1921 Alabama Statehood Centennial Half Dollar. The coin has a "Plain" Variety and a "2X2" Variety that were both issued in 1921. The US Mint added the "2X2" to the coin's obverse die (to the right of the portraits, above the stars) vs. being done by the coin's designer - Laura Gardin Fraser.

The half dollar has a "Plain" variety and a "24" variety. The US Mint added the "24" to the coin's obverse die (to the left of Daniel Boone's portrait) vs. being done by the coin's designer - Robert Aiken. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12261 Posts	Posted 02/05/2025 07:42 am In 1922, the US Mint struck Silver Half Dollars and Gold Dollars to mark the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant; they shared the same designs. Each of the coins had a "Plain" and "w/ Star" variety. On both the Silver and Gold coins, the Star was added to the obverse, just above "GRANT" to the right of Grant's portrait. The designs were created by Laura Gardin Fraser; the Mint added the Star to the obverse die. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
