1879
Mintage: 384,770 Proof: 30
Proofs have floating hair curls behind Liberty's neck.
One business strike die shows doubling on reverse arrows and
shafts. Another variety shows repunching on the lower part
of the "9" in the date. Breen claims that this is an 1879/8
overdate, but auction cataloguers have expressed some doubt.
