<B>1917 G$1 McKinley MS67 PCGS.</B></I> While some scholars have asserted that the 1916 and 1917 McKinley gold dollars exist in roughly equal quantities, they do not appear with the same frequency on the numismatic marketplace. Q. David Bowers (1991) suggests that only around 5,000 of the 1917-dated pieces escaped the melting pot, a figure that concurs with the 2008 <I>Guide Book</B></I>.<BR> The amazing Superb Gem offered here belongs to the highest tier of survivors. The obverse has vivid orange-gold at the margins surrounding delicate rose and lilac in the center, while the reverse shows similar, subtler coloration. Well struck for the issue with impressive luster and excellent overall preservation. A vibrant and eminently appealing masterpiece. Neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a numerically finer example (11/07).<BR><I>From The Pinetop Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
