Certification: Raw / UncertifiedStrike Type: Business strike
ABOUT THIS VARIETYThe 1979-P Wide Rim (Near Date) is one of the most sought-after modern varieties in the Anthony Dollar series. A rim-die change late in 1979 pushed the date noticeably closer to the rim than on standard Philadelphia strikes, making this a genuine mint variety rather than damage or wear. Collectors distinguish it by measuring the gap between the rim and the \"9\" in the date, and by the flatter, wider rim profile compared to the standard strike.
