I think you may have a defective grep:
23:32:46.08 $ cat f
$Log: Blah
23:32:58.70 $ grep "\$Log: .*\$" f
23:33:11.18 $
23:34:41.16 $ grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

(Notice that your narrative and your RE mismatch slightly, because
there's a space after your colon, but this doesn't matter with respect
to your actual question.)

I am actually looking for a line which has Dollar Log Colon ...any
characters...dollar...any characters...but this still returns the line,
even thought it is missing the last dollar. I am sure this is a pretty
obvious one, please help.
