Owner Comments:
Even though Augustus Saint Gaudens once described the portrait of President McKinley on this coin as "deadly", I would describe it more as "unflattering"....Pop 1 in 67 star, only one coin graded higher both services....What this coin lacks in design is made up for with copious pink and green gold patina and flashy luster. I didn't think a McKinley dollar could look so nice until I found this example....This is the highest graded star coin.
