There are two types of Grant gold dollars, including those with a star in the right obverse field and one without -- in similar fashion to the two varieties of complementary Grant half dollars. The Grant With Star gold commemorative dollar is about as common as examples without the star. It is frequently encountered in grades of MS62-66, with MS67s proving much scarcer.
