1917 McKinley. PCGS MS-65. 1917 McKinley. PCGS MS-65.
Lot Title: 1917 McKinley. PCGS MS-65.
Description: Ravishing luster proclaims the exceptional quality and preservation of the apricot-gold fields, accented by subtle ribbons and pools of lavender-grey iridescence. The beauty of this presentation holds up well even under close examination, and the only noticeable blemish is a singular nick on the President's upper cheekbone. Negligible striking weakness is noted at the bottom of the reverse, resulting in incomplete sharpness at the bottom of some peripheral letters. A terrific gem!
