This is your chance to collect a complete collection of a short-lived dollar series! The Susan B. Anthony Dollar was a revolutionary yet controversial coin. It was the first time that U.S. coinage featured a female historical figure, rather than a fictional depiction of Lady Liberty. Susan B. Anthony was a critical figure in the women's suffrage movement, so she was the perfect choice for this revolutionary coin. Minted only from 1979-1981, and once more in 1999, this is the shortest-lived modern coin in US history! The coin's obverse features a portrait of a 50-year-old Susan B. Anthony by Frank Gasparro. The reverse uses the same Apollo 11 Moon Landing-inspired design from the discontinued Eisenhower dollar: an eagle holding a laurel branch on the moon, with Earth in the distant background.
The Susan B Anthony coin was discontinued because it was too similar in size to the quarter, and it caused much confusion with the public. So, the coin was barely used by the public while it was in circulation. During those 3 years as well, the Susan B. Anthony dollar was included in the annual US Mint and Proof sets. This 6-piece collection includes ALL 1979, 1980, and 1981 Proof and Mint sets that feature the coveted SBA dollar, in their original government packaging. Take advantage of this opportunity to own the entire run of this forgotten dollar in its original condition, as well as the other incredible coins included in the sets for a steal of a deal today!
