1903 Gold $1.00 Louisiana Purchase McKinley MS-65 PCGS
In 1903, the Philadelphia Mint produced a special gold dollar to commemorate the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This issue features the profile of William McKinley, struck in 90 percent pure gold. Because it was minted in Philadelphia, the coin carries no mint mark, representing a limited production run of only 17,500 pieces. This particular specimen has survived in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as Mint State 65 (MS-65). The obverse and reverse designs are framed by the classic inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." With a gold content of 0.0483 troy ounces, this small treasure offers a fascinating look into early twentieth-century American commemorative coinage, capturing a specific moment in the nation's celebratory history.
