Description
1879 Gold Dollar, PR64
Only 30 Specimens Struck
1879 G$1 PR64 PCGS. The 1879 proof gold dollar is a tricky
issue. Only 30 proofs were struck, and apparently the same dies
were used on both proofs and business strikes. As a result, the
apparent availability of this date is skewed by old auction
appearances when first-impression business strikes were offered as
proofs. When viewing this coin, there is absolutely no doubt about
its proof status. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side, with
strong mint frost over the devices giving the coin a notable
(although unacknowledged) cameo contrast. Close examination with a
magnifier reveals a few wispy hairlines, a couple of tiny planchet
flaws, and rich orange-gold color interspersed with the occasional
dash of lilac. Population: 3 in 64, 2 finer (11/12).From The Ives Devos Collection.(Registry values: P5)
