SCOTT #559 McKINLEY 7 CENT

On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shot twice by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition.  Only one bullet actually hit the president (the other ricocheted off one of his suit buttons and was later found in his clothes).  He went to the exposition’s hospital for treatment.  While surgeons couldn’t find the bullet, the president seemed stable.  However, McKinley took a turn for the worse and died on Sept. 14th.
