    Trying to identify a single issue from the year 1979 that is desirable. I'm stumped, can't come up with even one coin that inspires. Help me out...,,..

    Does it have to be a one year type and or a commemorative coin?

    Just has to be dated 1979, so even a Sovereign would count, all 9 million of them that were minted.
