In 1916, the United States Mint introduced a $1 commemorative gold coin in honor of former President William McKinley. The request to mint the coins came from the National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Association to honor the president 15 years after he was assassinated in New York. Today, 1916 $1 McKinley Gold Coins are available in certified condition at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
William McKinley served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. His presidency marked a pivotal period in American history, overseeing the nation’s emergence as a global power following victory in the Spanish-American War. McKinley championed economic policies centered on high protective tariffs and maintaining the gold standard, which helped lead the country out of a severe depression that had begun in 1893.
All 1916 $1 McKinley Gold Coins are available to you in certified condition. Mint State 64 coins have average mint luster with several small contact marks in clusters with the possibility of one or two heavier contact marks. One or two small patches of hairlines are also possible.
On the obverse of 1916 McKinley Gold Coins, you will find a left-profile bust of the former president. Despite his conservative reputation, McKinley’s administration represented significant change for America both domestically and internationally. Under his leadership, the United States annexed Hawaii, gained control of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and established itself as a colonial power.
The reverse side of the 1916 $1 McKinley Gold Coin comes with an image of the McKinley Birthplace Memorial. The McKinley National Memorial in Canton, Ohio stands as a grand tribute to the assassinated president, featuring a domed mausoleum rising 96 feet above a hillside. Completed in 1907 at a cost of $600,000 (approximately $17 million today), the memorial was funded entirely by public donations from over one million Americans.
