How common are 1979-P wide rim SBA dollars? I got some rolls of dollar coins at the bank today, and found three wide rim ones. Thanks, Charlie
According to Walter Breen, a little light reading, there were 643 type II dies. I can not recall how many coins from 1 die but if you know, that would be the answer. Happy hunting, Michael
With that many dies, 10% would be a bit low for that would translate into about 60,000 coins per die. While some dies would produce even fewer than that, most would produce into the hundreds of thousands of coins. Based on that info I think I would change my estimate to about 25% - or somewhere around 90 million.
Lucky You I collect SBA dollars and I look hard for these. You should concider yourself lucky to find them so close to each other. If they grade MS you've got something. If you want to let them go "I'll Take Them".
i just got one back from anacs(used it to make the 10th coin) came back MS-64,not bad for a pocket change coin!and they only took 2weeks for economy.
