PCGS MS68 1979 P Wide Rim SBA, Does One Exist?

have just started getting interested in the SBA Dollars and found an interesting bit of information about the 1979P wide rim coin. I found this teletrade auction Link for a PCGS MS68 1979P wide rim coin not attributed on the holder and looked at the PCGS pops and it still doesn't show any in MS68. I wonder if the one 1979P MS68 listed in the PCGS pops is actually a wide rim coin?

There is only one MS68 1979-P SBA dollar and it is not listed as a wide rim. It is not to say, however, that it is not a wide rim. It could have been graded before the attribution began at PCGS.

But I have the answer......
















The coin was incorrectly attributed by Teletrade. When I purchased it I almost returned it because I quickly realized that it was not a Wide Rim.

In retrospect I am glad that I kept it. I think it would bring a bit more than $850 today.
