1916 McKinley Gold Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Untoned. Clearly superior to the vast majority of often mishandled or cleaned Uncirculated pieces, this dazzling reddish-golden McKinley has only a few well scattered tiny blemishes and benefits from the high production standards employed by the Mint during this period. If one were to take a poll, we'd see that the strike is standard for the issue in being sharp on the portrait with the excellent metal flows on both sides into the deeper die recesses; in other words, a desirable strike. Only 15,000 struck. Pop 387. (PCGS # 7454) .
The sale of the McKinley dollars aided in paying for a memorial building at Niles, Ohio, the fallen president's birthplace. The obverse shows a profile of McKinley and was designed by Charles E. Barber; the reverse, with the memorial building was designed by George T. Morgan.
Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.
