The sale of the McKinley dollars aided in paying for a memorial building at Niles, Ohio, the fallen president's birthplace. He was shot in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition on September 6, 1901, and died some weeks later. It would be his last curtain call as President. 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.
