The Anthony Dollar, officially known as the Susan B. Anthony Dollar, was issued by the United States Mint in 1979 as a tribute to women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony. The coin features a depiction of Anthony on the obverse and an eagle landing on the reverse. The 1979 San Francisco mint version, often identified by the “S” mintmark, is part of a series that includes coins minted in subsequent years (1980, 1981, and 1999). While the Anthony Dollar was intended to be widely circulated, it faced challenges due to its resemblance to the quarter, making it less popular among the public. As a collectible, the San Francisco mint varieties, especially in higher grades or with specific characteristics, can carry significant value for numismatists.
