Susan B. Anthony Dollar

Brief Description

Small-size silver-colored coin featuring the right-facing profile of women's rights pioneer Susan B. Anthony on the obverse. It has a distinctive eleven-sided inner border.

Historical Significance

This was the first time a real woman (rather than a mythological figure like Liberty) appeared on a circulating U.S. coin. It was intended to replace the paper dollar to save manufacturing costs, but was widely rejected by the public because its size and color were too similar to the quarter-dollar.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Commonly found in circulation and worth face value unless in uncirculated condition or a rare variety)

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning or polishing to maintain original luster. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe coin holder or flip to prevent scratches and environmental damage.
