Overview

Historical significance

This was the first circulating U.S. coin to feature a real woman (as opposed to an allegorical figure like Lady Liberty). It was intended to replace the paper dollar bill to save the government money, though it was largely rejected by the public because it was often confused with the quarter due to its size and color.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $2.00 (Standard circulated specimens are generally only worth face value; uncirculated pieces or specific mint errors may fetch more).

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can damage the numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity, preferably in an acid-free holder or flip.
