This coin is a 1999 Anthony Dollar, issued by the United States Mint. It represents a denomination of $1, and it features the mint mark 'P', indicating it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. As part of the Anthony Dollar series, this particular coin is notable for its proof production type, which means it was struck with a special process that provides a highly polished, mirror-like finish, enhancing the details of its design. The coin is made from a copper-nickel clad composition and has a diameter of 26.5 mm, while it weighs 8.1 grams. It has a standard thickness reflecting its design and minting process, although unusually, the width and height are noted as '0.00000000', indicating that specific measurements might not be applicable or provided. With a mintage of 750,000 coins, this variety of the Anthony Dollar is relatively more collectible compared to others in the series due to its proof status. This coin exemplifies American coinage from the late 20th century and commemorates Susan B. Anthony, an influential figure in the women's suffrage movement. Collectors and numismatists value it not only for its historical significance but also for its aesthetic appeal and striking finish.
