Item Description
1.25" complete with W&H paper. On the reverse there is a 3/16" hairline sliver where the celluloid was not quite sufficient to tuck under the celluloid but the celluloid covering remains perfectly flat and this tiny hairline is exceedingly trivial, in fact, nearly invisible. The front of the piece is among the most colorful and elaborate designs from the 1900 campaign. Large McKinley oval portrait accented in gold is surrounded by the words "Protection/Expansion/Prosperity." At the left are numerous factories with smoking stacks while at the right are merchant and war ships all accented down below with a pair of cornucopia spilling forth gold coins. The celluloid surface is virtually Mint and with incredible high gloss. In Hake's 2004 Revised Prices the guide value is $456.
