Start With Identification
Susan B. Anthony dollars are often found in drawers, inherited coins, and old bank rolls. Most circulated examples are common, but proofs, varieties, and better-condition coins can be worth a closer look.
Coin Appraiser can help you scan a coin, compare visible details, and organize the information a coin dealer or appraiser would typically ask about.
Value Factors to Check
- Date: production years are limited, which makes sorting straightforward.
- Mint mark: look near the portrait for P, D, or S.
- Condition: bright uncirculated coins and proofs are more collectible than worn examples.
- Collector demand: demand is focused on varieties, proofs, and complete sets.
- Rarity or scarcity: the 1979-P wide rim variety is a common reason to inspect details carefully.
- Metal content: Copper-nickel clad.
Before You Decide What It Is Worth
- Susan B. Anthony dollars are copper-nickel clad, not silver.
- Because many are common, variety identification and condition matter.
- Values are estimates and can change with market demand, condition, grading, and buyer interest.
- For formal appraisal, sale, insurance, or tax decisions, consult a qualified coin dealer or professional appraiser.
