Description
This is a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, a significant piece of American coinage. The obverse features a profile of Susan B. Anthony, a prominent leader of the women's suffrage movement, with the inscriptions 'LIBERTY,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and the year of issue. The reverse depicts a stylized eagle in flight, a recurring motif on US currency, along with 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,' 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' and 'ONE DOLLAR.'
History
The Susan B. Anthony dollar was minted from 1979 to 1981 and again in 1999. It was the first US dollar coin to feature a woman other than a First Lady. The coin's design was intended to honor Susan B. Anthony and promote the Equal Rights Amendment. Despite its noble intentions, the coin faced challenges in public acceptance due to its size and similarity to the quarter.
Facts
The Susan B. Anthony dollar was controversial from its inception. Its size, being similar to that of a quarter, led to confusion and rejection by the public and vending machine operators. The striking similarity in size and color to the quarter made it easily mistaken, hindering its circulation and popularity. The coin's design was also criticized for not adequately representing Anthony's legacy.
Value Fact
In circulated condition, 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars are generally worth their face value or a small premium. Uncirculated examples and those from special mint sets command higher prices, with rare varieties and errors being particularly sought after by collectors. The market value is influenced by factors like condition, rarity, and overall demand within the numismatic community.
