William McKinley was president of the United States from 1897 to 1901. He was the last veteran of the Civil War in the White House. He dealt with the country's financial problems that had peaked with the panic of 1893. He put the dollar on the gold standard and raised import tariffs.

McKinley's portrait was featured on the $10 bank notes of 1902.

    A Gold McKinley memorial dollar bearing his portrait was struck in 1916 and 1917. It is reported that only half of the 30.000 coins struck escaped the melting pot.

    McKinley's portrait was put on $500 notes in 1928 and 1934. With the depression going on a $500 note was a very high denomination note.

    William Dickey, a gold prospector from the states, is credited with the 1896 naming of Alaska's mountain, the tallest mountain on the continent, Mount McKinley. It is said it was in honor of William McKinley's support of the gold standard. Even though local Alaska natives called it Denali (the high one) the name McKinley was made official after McKinley became president. Now it looks like the design on the "America The Beautiful" Alaska Slate quarter will have Mount McKinley in the background.

    After the end of the Spanish-American war in 1899 the U.S. took control of the Philippines and when republicans gained political power in Washington in 1921 the plans to grant self government to the Philippines were stopped.

    That's when a note, printed in the U.S. for circulation in the Philippines, was issued bearing the portrait of McKinley and the value of 5 pesos.

    The Roy Brown Donation Auction raised a very impressive $1565.

    This money will be offered to the current owner of Roy's Coin Shop, Ann Brown (Roy's widow), if she has no need for ii then it will become the start of a fund to support the promotion of coin collecting in Alaska.

    We would like to send out a thank you to every one of you who donated lo this auction.

    Out here on edge of the planet news of how amazing coins are lakes a while to get around. With your help and this fund we will be able to get the word out to more people.
