David Akers (1975/88)

The last year of quarter eagle coinage at the San Francisco Mint. Although not a great rarity, the 1879-S is certainly more scarce than most people realize. Its 61 auction appearances in our 226 catalogue auction survey give it a higher rarity rating than many other dates in this series with much bigger reputations and/or lower mintages. Although reasonably available in lower grades, choice uncirculated specimens are surprisingly difficult to obtain.
