Key Fact
Description
This is a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, a U.S. currency introduced in 1979 and minted until 1981. The obverse features a profile of the prominent suffragist Susan B. Anthony, designed by Gilroy Roberts. The reverse displays a heraldic eagle, a common motif on U.S. coinage, designed by Frank Gasparro. The coin is composed of a copper and nickel clad composition and has a reeded edge.
History
The Susan B. Anthony dollar was the first U.S. dollar coin to feature a woman and the first dollar coin in over 50 years. Its creation was part of an effort to reduce the use of paper dollar bills, which were more costly to produce. Susan B. Anthony was a pivotal leader in the women's suffrage movement and a tireless advocate for civil rights.
Facts
Despite its historical significance, the Susan B. Anthony dollar was not popular with the public. Its similar size and color to the quarter caused widespread confusion and vending machine malfunctions. This led to its relatively short production run and its nickname, the 'Carter Dollar' or 'Susan B. Anthony Quarter.'
Value Fact
Circulated Susan B. Anthony dollars are generally common and trade at face value or slightly above. However, uncirculated examples, particularly those from the Philadelphia mint without a mint mark, can command higher prices. Key date coins and those with error varieties can be of interest to collectors, with prices varying based on condition and rarity.
