<Our item number 83048><B>1922, &#36;50 Gold Certificate. Fr-1200.</B> Portrait of Hiram Grant. Yes, Hiram. Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. At Ulysses&#39; 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. 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.<BR><BR>Ulysses attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. When Ulysses registered, his name appeared on West Point&#39;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 &#34;Uncle Sam&#34; Grant. His good friends shortened this name and called him Sam. <B>PCGS graded Fine 15.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;550-750. <BR><BR>Our item number 83048<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/083048.jpg"> </P></IMA GES>
