1879 Gold Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. Gorgeous reddish-rose patina blends with lively mint frost on both sides of this endearing Gem. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and worthy of the strongest bids. From a circulation strike mintage of just 3,000 coins. As with most of the following issues through the end of the gold dollar series in 1889, the 1879 is more readily obtainable in today's market than the mintage might imply. This is due to widespread hoarding by contemporary numismatists, including Chicago beer magnate Virgil M. Brand and possibly also T. Harrison Garrett. The 1879 is more conditionally challenging than later date issues such as the 1880, 1881 and 1889, however, and represents a fleeting bidding opportunity in grades above MS-65, as here. PCGS Population: 41; 18 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 7580. NGC ID: 25DH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
