Rare Susan B. Anthony dollars, Digi Mart USA News: Susan B. Anthony dollars are U.S.
one-dollar coins minted from 1979 to 1981 and briefly in 1999. Some varieties and errors from the series are sought by collectors, who may pay premiums well above the $1 face value.
According to PCGS, the 1979-S Type 2 proof has an estimated worth of around $50 to $130, depending on grade. It is distinguished by a sharply defined San Francisco mintmark, in contrast to the earlier, blurry-looking Type 1 “Filled S.”
The 1981-S Type 2 dollar is estimated by PCGS at between $80 and $425, depending on grade. Its clear S mintmark separates it from the Type 1 variety, and collectors particularly prize pristine examples.
According to NGC, the 1979-P Wide Rim Susan B. Anthony dollar has an estimated value of up to $1,000. Its date sits unusually close to the thick inner border, which makes it easy to distinguish from the common Narrow Rim version.
The 1980-S Repunched dollar is an unusual proof variety that appears to show remnants of an earlier S mintmark to the left of the main S. It is cataloged as a repunched mintmark variety, although some experts question whether the effect came from a damaged die.
According to PCGS, verified sales of this variety are scarce.
The 1999-P example is an error coin struck on an experimental metal blank intended for testing alloys used for the Sacagawea dollar. According to PCGS, one example sold at Heritage Auctions in 2013 for $10,575.
Values for all these coins depend on condition, grading and whether the coin is authenticated, so prices vary considerably.
