An estimated 36 proof gold dollars were struck in 1880. The business strike mintage of just 1,636 coins was the second lowest in the series (after the 1875), making 1880 one of the scarcer years in both formats. The proof mintage actually exceeds the typical survival rate for the business strike, a situation where more proofs may exist in high grade than comparable Mint State business strikes.
Surviving proofs are scarce. The 1880 represents a year where the proof is potentially more available in gem condition than the circulation strike, an unusual dynamic that makes both formats interesting for collectors tracking the series.
