The value of a 1979-P Susan B. Anthony dollar coin depends heavily on its condition and whether it’s the more common “Narrow Rim” or the scarcer “Wide Rim” (also called “Near Date”) variety.
- Circulated condition: Typically worth little more than face value, ranging from $1.10 in about uncirculated (AU-50) condition up to $4 in uncirculated (MS-63) condition. According to the NGC Price Guide, as of August 2025, a Susan B Anthony Coin from 1979 in circulated condition is worth between $1.05 and $1.35.
- Uncirculated condition: Can reach up to $1,100 for a perfect MS67 grade.
- Circulated condition: More valuable than the narrow rim, commanding a premium of $6 in AU-50 condition up to $35 in MS-63 condition.
- Uncirculated condition: The Wide Rim variety is significantly more valuable, especially in higher grades. It can be worth between $13.50 and $1,900. One example sold for over $6,400 at a Heritage Auctions sale. Another auction record from December 30th, 2021 indicates a value of around $7,000 for a 1979P near date Susan B Anthony dollar graded MS67.
- Condition: Uncirculated (mint state) coins are more valuable than circulated coins. The better the condition, the higher the grade and the value of the coin.
- Variety: The 1979-P Wide Rim (Near Date) is a key variety and is significantly more valuable than the Narrow Rim.
- Errors: Coins with minting errors, such as off-center strikes, clipped planchets, or double die obverses, can be worth more to collectors.
- Certification: Professionally graded coins from services like PCGS or NGC ensure authenticity and accurate grading, which can increase value, especially for rare varieties.
