Susan B. Anthony Dollar

Brief Description

Small, silver-colored coin featuring a profile portrait of Susan B. Anthony on the obverse (front) and an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse. It has a distinctive hendecagonal (11-sided) inner border.

Historical Significance

This was the first U.S. circulating coin to depict a real woman rather than an allegorical figure (like Liberty). It replaced the large Eisenhower Dollar to save costs, but was widely unpopular because its size and color were too similar to the quarter.

Estimated Value

$1.00 USD (Face Value)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin with chemicals, as this can damage the surface and reduce any potential numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
