Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, a U.S. currency piece featuring a portrait of the prominent women's suffrage advocate. The obverse displays her profile, while the reverse depicts an eagle in flight over the moon. Struck in a copper-nickel clad composition, it has a reeded edge and a diameter of 26.5mm.
History
Introduced in 1979, the Susan B. Anthony dollar was intended to honor the pioneering feminist and social reformer. It was part of an effort to promote a dollar coin for general circulation, replacing the silver dollar. Designed by Gilroy Roberts and Edmund Fraser, it was minted until 1981, with limited production in 1999.
Facts
The coin's design faced some criticism, with some finding the effigy too small and the size too similar to a quarter, leading to frequent confusion. Despite its short minting run for circulation, it holds significance as the first U.S. circulating coin to feature a real woman on its obverse.
Value Fact
Commonly found in uncirculated condition, 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars can be purchased for a few dollars. However, specific mint marks or varieties, particularly those from the Philadelphia mint with proof finishes, can command higher prices among collectors.
