***Auction Highlight*** 1917 McKinley Gold Commem Dollar .$1 Grades GEM+ Unc (fc)
***Auction Highlight*** 1917 McKinley Gold Commem Dollar .$1 Grades GEM+ Unc. 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! The estimated distribution for the 1917 McKinley gold dollar, per the Guide Book, was 5,000 coins compared to an estimated 10,000 pieces for the 1916. To be sure, this is the scarcer issue in high grades. Vivid rose-orange patina blends with vibrant satin luster on both sides of this simply outstanding Gem. From the second of two years of the type, and somewhat scarcer than the 1916 issue. A Corey's Pick
