Overview

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

Historical significance

Introduced in 1979, it was the first circulating U.S. coin to depict a real woman (rather than an allegorical figure like Lady Liberty). It was intended to replace the paper dollar bill, but was largely unsuccessful because its size and color were too similar to the quarter.

Estimated value

$1.00 (Face Value in circulated condition). High-grade uncirculated or proof versions may be worth $5.00 - $10.00.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can damage the surface and reduce numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder or sleeve to prevent oxidation.
