The first U.S. coin to depict a real, non-allegorical woman. A small, 91.67% copper / 8.33% nickel clad dollar introduced in 1979 to replace the unpopular Eisenhower dollar -- but its close size and color to the quarter caused widespread public confusion, and the Mint quietly ended regular production after 1981. A final 1999 run bridged the gap to the Sacagawea dollar the following year.

About Susan B. Anthony Dollar values
The 1981-S tops this series: a top-grade example is estimated around $163. Condition drives that figure — the same date in worn condition is worth a fraction of it, which is why each guide shows a range rather than a single number.
By mintage, the 1999-P is the scarcest key date tracked here, with 750,000 struck. Mintage is coins struck rather than coins surviving, though — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further, so survival estimates run lower still.
This guide covers 4 key dates and varieties from the Susan B. Anthony Dollar series (1979–1981, 1999). Common dates from the same series are worth far less and are usually valued closer to their metal content.
Grading takes practice, and the gap between adjacent grades is real money on a key date. Compare your coin against the photographs on each date's page, and for anything potentially valuable consider having it certified by PCGS or NGC — a graded coin settles both authenticity and condition in one step.
