The 1980 Anthony Dollar is a unique coin in the series of one-dollar coins that feature the likeness of former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This particular coin was produced as a proof specimen, characterized by its high-quality finish and mirror-like surface, designed for collectors rather than for circulation. The coin weighs 0.00000000 grams (indicating that the weight data might be missing), but its diameter measures 26.5 mm, making it a standard size for dollar coins of its kind. Composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper core, the Anthony Dollar exhibits a distinctive composition that contributes to its aesthetic appeal. The mintage of this coin was 3,554,806 units, offering a moderate availability that can influence its collectibility and market value. Notably, this coin does not feature a mint mark, indicating that it was not struck at a specific U.S. Mint facility but rather produced as part of a broader set. In terms of design and historical significance, the Anthony Dollar represents a key shift in U.S. coinage, moving towards smaller, modern coins while honoring significant figures in American history. Since it was minted in 1980, it remains a popular item among collectors and numismatists alike, particularly for those focusing on modern proof coins from the United States.
