Anthony dollars are a unique American coinage that depicted the first non-fictional woman in the history of US coinage, symbolizing progress. This coin, with a famous advocate for women's rights on the obverse, was created as a more cost-effective alternative to the Eisenhower dollar. The US Mint issued these copper coins from 1979 to 1981 and in 1999. It was a way to compensate for the shortage of this type of coin, particularly in regions where gambling is one of the primary activities. Despite its unpopularity, the 1979 dollar coin value is often higher than its face value because of its uniqueness and limited mintage period. Despite its unpopularity, the 1979 dollar coin value is often higher than its face value because of its uniqueness and limited mintage period. Unfortunately, its size was inappropriate, causing confusion in everyday transactions. Even the unique eleven-side design and lovely silverish color couldn't help. It was a shame because Susan B. Anthony was a significant figure as a pioneer for women's rights. Frank Gasparro's idea was to create the young goddess Liberty, but the White House demanded that the new dollar coin portray a genuine woman. The first bad reviews appeared even before the coin appeared in circulation. First real woman on a coin in America….. 1979 S Susan B.
