“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
Add an important modern U.S. coin to your collection with this 1979-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar, certified AU58 by PCGS. As the first year of issue for the Susan B. Anthony series, this coin represents a historic milestone in American coinage—the first circulating U.S. coin to feature a real woman.
Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1979-P dollar introduced a smaller-sized dollar coin intended for everyday use. While the series was short-lived, it remains highly collectible due to its historical significance and unique place in U.S. numismatics.
Graded About Uncirculated 58 (AU58), this coin sits just below Mint State, showing only slight friction on the highest points while retaining strong luster and eye appeal. It offers the look of a Mint State coin at a more accessible price point.
The Susan B. Anthony dollar is widely collected for its cultural and historical importance, and first-year issues like this are especially desirable. This certified example provides authenticity, strong visual appeal, and long-term collectible value.
