- 1879 Gold Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Lovely prooflike surfaces are further enhanced by pretty deep orange-apricot color. Fully struck, nicely preserved, and worthy of very strong bids. From a circulation strike mintage of just 3,000 coins. As with most of the later gold dollar 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 dates such as the 1880, 1881 and 1889, however, and represents a significant bidding opportunity in the finer Mint State grades, as here. PCGS# 7580. NGC ID: 25DH. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
