An underrated San Francisco issue of which no gem graded pieces have survived. The 1879-S was a particularly challenging issue in Mint State before examples started returning to the United States from foreign bank hoards. Today several hundred Uncirculated examples exist, mainly at the MS-60 and MS-61 levels. Scarce still with the level of quality and eye appeal offered here, the crisply defined surfaces feature original pale green and rose accents and shine with lovely mint frost. The eye appeal is wonderful, a piece sure to please the discerning gold collector! - Liberty Head $20
