1979-S Susan B. Anthony Dollar PCGS MS64 – San Francisco First-Year Issue
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
The 1979-S Susan B. Anthony Dollar (Type 2) is one of the most sought-after varieties in the Susan B. Anthony Dollar series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features the distinct “Clear S” mint mark (Type 2)—a sharper, more defined style compared to the more common filled mint mark (Type 1), making it a key modern variety for collectors.
Graded PR69DCAM (Proof 69 Deep Cameo) by Professional Coin Grading Service, this coin is in near-perfect condition, just one step below flawless. It exhibits deep mirrored fields and bold frosted devices, creating a striking cameo contrast that enhances its visual appeal.
While proof SBA dollars were widely produced, the Type 2 variety is significantly scarcer, especially in high-grade deep cameo condition. This makes it a standout piece for collectors building high-end sets or seeking important modern U.S. coin varieties.
