Susan B. Anthony Dollar

Brief Description

Small-sized silver-colored coin featuring a profile of Susan B. Anthony on the obverse and an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse.

Historical Significance

This was the first U.S. circulating coin to depict a real woman (rather than an allegorical figure). It was introduced to replace the Eisenhower dollar and reduce costs, but was widely unpopular due to its similar size and appearance to the quarter.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $2.00 (Circulated)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints and oil transfer. Do not clean with chemicals as this can destroy numismatic value.
