Susan B. Anthony dollar

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile portrait of Susan B. Anthony, a leader in the women's suffrage movement, surrounded by 13 stars and the word 'LIBERTY'. It has a distinctive eleven-sided inner border.

Historical Significance

This was the first time a real woman (as opposed to an allegorical figure like Lady Liberty) appeared on a circulating U.S. coin. It was intended to replace the paper dollar bill and reduce costs, though it was largely unpopular due to its similar size and color to the quarter.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Standard circulated examples are worth face value; uncirculated or rare mint mark varieties can be worth more).

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can damage the surface and significantly reduce its value for collectors. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints.
