Overview

Silver-colored coin featuring the profile of Susan B. Anthony on the obverse surrounded by 13 stars and a hendecagonal (11-sided) inner border. The reverse typically depicts an eagle landing on the moon.

Historical significance

This was the first circulating U.S. coin to feature a real, non-mythological woman. It replaced the larger Eisenhower Dollar but was unpopular due to its similarity in size and color to the quarter.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Standard circulated copies are generally only worth face value; collectors may pay more for uncirculated specimens or rare mint errors)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or scrubbing the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can severely damage its numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
