Excellent example of this scarce Gold commemorative. Great Luster, clean fields, a terrific coin. Issued in 1917 on the 75th Anniversary of McKinley's birth, but due to his untimely demise by an assassin, this commemorative was issued to help create a memorial in his hometown. When examining a McKinley Commem Points to examine for the first signs of wear include McKinley’s temple and the hair above his ear; on the reverse, check the pillar above the second numeral 1 and the base of the flagpole. The 1917 is much scarcer with Q. David Bowers estimating only 5,000 pieces were ever distributed. Coin World's Coin Values lists ms65 at $2500 and The Wholesale Greysheet lists ms65 at $1875 (note in xf the coin wholesales for $500, scarce in any grade). Estimated Value $2000.
