Historical significance

The Susan B. Anthony dollar was the first U.S. coin to feature a real female historical figure. It was introduced to replace the Eisenhower dollar but was met with public resistance due to its similar size to the quarter, leading to confusion and unpopularity. It was only produced for a few years in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with a brief resurgence in 1999.

Estimated value

The value of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar varies depending on its condition and mint mark. In circulated condition, it is typically worth its face value ($1). Uncirculated examples can be worth a few dollars, while proof strikes can command higher prices.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by the edges to avoid transferring oils and dirt. Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a coin holder or album.
