Gem $2500 Low Mintage Issue, Missing Liberty Lettering, Brilliant Frosted Luster, Gem Original. 1879 gold dollar mintage is 3,000 and actually is more difficult to locate than the subsequent 1880 issue whereby only 1,600 were produced with hoarding increasing availability. This 1879 example is consistent with reported examples lacking most of the lettering in LIBERTY. This is an attractive gem with variegated orange and white gold shades. The reverse is particularly eye catching with the left side exhibiting bluish-white and the opposite being orange-gold. Under angled lighting, the steely-frosted radiance is substantial with vibrant cartwheels. Heavy reverse die clashing is also noted for accuracy. An unquestionable gem that was submitted to CAC without approval. I believe this is a notable example and you will too! Housed in PCGS Gen 4.1 (2003-2004) holder.
