1981-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar – PCGS MS63 | Brilliant Uncirculated Key Date Issue
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
The 1981-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar represents one of the most important and sought-after issues in the short-lived SBA dollar series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin comes from the final year of regular production for circulation, making it a key date for collectors.
Graded MS63 by PCGS, this example is in Mint State condition, showcasing strong detail, original luster, and only moderate contact marks typical for the grade. Coins from 1981 were produced primarily for collectors rather than general circulation, adding to their desirability and long-term collectible appeal.
The Susan B. Anthony Dollar series holds a unique place in U.S. history as the first coin to feature a real woman—Susan B. Anthony, a pioneer of the women’s suffrage movement. Due to limited mintage and the fact that most examples were not widely circulated, high-grade certified coins like this are increasingly popular among modern coin collectors.
