More Than 6,000 Satisfied Customers! Commemorative Coin - NGC MS 62. Commemorative gold coin has been graded by NGC and determined to be in Mint State MS 62 condition. The McKinley gold dollars of 1916 and 1917 were coined at the request the National McKinley Birthplace memorial Association nearly fifteen years after McKinley's death at the hands of an assassin.

Proceeds from the sale of the coins were to be used to construct a memorial in his home town of Niles, Ohio. While the original request from the association was for commemorative silver dollars, McKinley's pro-gold stance in office led Congress to the change the bill to call for gold dollar coins instead. There were 20,000 McKinley gold dollars struck in 1916 and a further 10,000 dated 1917 struck in February of the following year. However, a respected dealer of the time said 5,000 of each date were melted, leaving a net mintage of 15,000 for the 1916 issue and only 5,000 for the 1917. You'll receive the same certified American gold commemorative dollar coin as pictured.
