What is a 2013-D William McKinley Presidential Dollar worth?
Collectors pay a real premium for this date, worn or not, because far fewer were made than usual. Uncirculated pieces go much higher.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
- Certification by PCGS or NGC, which buyers expect for scarce dates
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2013-D William McKinley Presidential Dollar rare?
- Somewhat. 3,365,100 were made, fewer than most dates, so collectors treat it as a semi-key.
- Is the 2013-D William McKinley Presidential Dollar silver?
- No. It's manganese brass (88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese, 2% nickel). Circulating silver dollars ended with the 1935 Peace dollar. Some Eisenhower dollars with an S mint mark were made in 40% silver for collectors, but circulation Ike dollars are copper-nickel clad.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2013 Presidential Dollar?
- On the edge, incused along with the date and mottos. On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2013-D William McKinley Presidential Dollar coins were made?
- 3,365,100.
What to check on your 2013-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2013-P (4.8 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Check the high points of each portrait and the edge lettering, which should be complete and evenly spaced.
The story of the 2013-D William McKinley
Denver made 3,365,100 of the William McKinley presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2013 it was the second largest Denver run, between Woodrow Wilson (3.4 million) and Theodore Roosevelt (3.9 million).
Philadelphia struck more of the same design, 4.8 million, so the 2013-D is the scarcer of the pair by about 29 percent.
Across the whole program it's one of the Denver designs made in the smallest numbers, 4th from the bottom of 40.
Made only for collectors (2012 to 2016)
From 2012 the program continued for collectors only. The Mint struck the remaining presidents in small numbers and sold them in rolls, bags and sets, so these dates are seldom found in change and their mintages are a fraction of the early years.
The original program ended in 2016 with Ronald Reagan. Uncirculated coins from original rolls are the usual way to fill these years in a set and edge lettering errors from this period are much rarer than the early ones.
How to recognize it
The William McKinley design
William McKinley was the 25th president, serving from 1897 until his death in 1901. During his first term the United States fought the Spanish-American War of 1898. Under the peace treaty Spain ceded Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines to the United States, which also annexed Hawaii that year. He signed the Gold Standard Act in 1900. Shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in September 1901, he died eight days later.
The Presidential Dollar design
The obverse shows a president with his name and the order and years of his time in office. The reverse shows the Statue of Liberty with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The date, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are lettered on the edge, along with IN GOD WE TRUST on coins struck before 2009, so check the edge for the mint mark.
