The surfaces are pristine and free of distractions, with beautiful orange-gold patina. Just two years passed between McKinley’s assassination and his appearance on this commemorative issue. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition dollars were the first official U.S. gold commemoratives

The Pan-Pac quarter eagle is, in fact, scarce in all grades, in part due to its limited mintage. The San Francisco mint struck a total of 10,017 pieces of the Pan-Pac quarter eagle, but 3,251 were melted and unsold. This example boasts an attractive reddish cast and satiny surfaces that are remarkably preserved.

The surfaces shimmer with tinges of reddish-gold color. The Pan-Pac Quarter Eagle is one of the scarcer commemorative gold coins and it is also one of the best designed. The net mintage of this issue was only 6,749 pieces, with a substantial number melted as unsold.

The fifth gold dollar, third major type, in the gold commemorative set. Mintage of 15,000.
A superb little GEM, this piece leaves little else to be desired. Accompanied by the original envelope used to distribute these when purchased individually.

The design of the McKinley was due to the efforts of two of our coinage’s best known designers.The obverse of the McKinley Memorial dollar was the final issued design attributed to Chief Engraver Charles Barber, who died in 1917 after 38 years in that position and 48 years of work at the Mint. The Reverse was designed by G.T. Morgan. This example offers honey-gold surfaces with frosty luster and a bold strike.

A beautifully frosted near Gem displays a subtle orange-gold patina with glowing luster. The design elements are well struck throughout. These dollars helped facilitate the construction of the Memorial building in Niles Ohio, Mckinleys birthplace.

PCGS / NGC Population:
Authorized by congress to help pay for the cost of the McKinley memorial in Niles, Ohio. Second year of issue, and much scarcer than the 1916 with a mintage of 5,000 versus 15,000.
Obverse designed by Charles E. Barber; Reverse by George T. Morgan.
A delightful coin and certainly a GEM by anyone’s standards.

Another stunning example of Laura Gardin Frasiers’ designs. Survivors of the 5,016 Grant with Star Gold Dollars originally produced are among the most desirable of all commemorative issues among today’s collectors. Representatives at this level are few and far between. The surfaces of this specimen are richly frosted and glow orange-gold coloration.

Another striking coin designed by Laura Garden Frasier with all the artistic details she has demonstrated so many times. From a tiny mintage of just 5,000 pieces, few remaining examples possess the eye appeal and technical quality of this example.

Highly lustrous in the fields and generally sharp for this issue. An attractive, satiny example of this issue and the scarcer of the two varieties in higher grade. This No Star example boasts a production number of a mere 5,000 pieces.

The 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia to commemorate the 150th anniversary of American independence, was the occasion for the issuance of commemorative half dollars and quarter eagles. A lovely gold commemorative with Apricot-gold color overlaying soft luster. The motifs exhibit excellent strike definition.
PCGS Cert #06753323
PCGS / NGC Population:
The majority of the Sesquicentennial $2.5 sold went to the general public, where many were mishandled, cleaned, or made into jewelry. According to Mint records, 154,207 Sesqui quarter eagles (or more than three-quarters of the total mintage) went to the melting pot. This undeniably beautiful example presents surfaces that are exquisitely toned in lovely honey orange.

As expected from the larger mintage in excess of 46,000 pieces, more Mint State examples of this gold commemorative are known than of any other. This almost gem example is nothing short of extraordinary with delightful honeyed-orange surfaces.
PCGS Cert #5014044
PCGS / NGC Population:
Booming luster complements the pleasing orange-gold coloration. An elusive issue at the next grade level. The Sesquicentennial quarter eagle of 1926, with its net mintage of 46,019 pieces, seemed like success compared to the totals achieved for other gold issues. Still, that number fell far short of the authorized mintage of 200,000 pieces, all of which were actually struck and most of which were later melted, resulting in considerable expense for the government.
