Overview

The obverse features a profile portrait of Susan B. Anthony with the word LIBERTY and the date 1979. It is distinctive for its eleven-sided inner border.

Historical significance

This coin was the first time a real woman (not the allegorical Lady Liberty) appeared on a circulating U.S. coin. It was intended to replace the dollar bill but was widely unpopular due to its size, which was often confused with the quarter.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Circulated value is typically face value; uncirculated specimens may be worth slightly more.)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing as it can damage the surface and reduce any collector value. Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprint oils.
