Quick answers

What to check on your 2013-P

  • Make sure the mint mark really is a P. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2013-D (3.4 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.

With 5 million made, the 2013-P still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.

The story of the 2013-P William McKinley

Philadelphia made 4,760,000 of the William McKinley presidential dollar. Among the 4 designs of 2013 it was the second smallest Philadelphia run, between Woodrow Wilson (4.6 million) and William Howard Taft (4.8 million).

Denver struck fewer of the same design (3.4 million), which makes the 2013-D the scarcer of the pair.

Across the whole program it's one of the Philadelphia designs made in the smallest numbers, 5th 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.
