The value of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin depends on several factors, including its condition, mint mark, and any potential errors or varieties.
- Circulated condition: Most circulated 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coins are worth close to their face value, roughly between $1.05 and $1.35.
- Uncirculated condition: Uncirculated coins in excellent condition can fetch higher prices. For example, the 1979-P “Near Date” variety (Wide Rim), which is rarer than the regular 1979-P coin, can be worth significantly more in uncirculated grades.
- Mint marks: The 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars were minted in Philadelphia (P), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). Coins with the “P” and “S” mint marks, particularly certain varieties, can be more valuable than those from the Denver mint.
- Errors and varieties: Some 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars have errors, such as:
– Wide Rim (Near Date) Variety: The date is closer to the rim compared to the more common Narrow Rim variety. This is especially true for coins with the “P” mint mark.
– Type 1 vs. Type 2 Proof Coins: The 1979-S proof coins come in two types, based on the mintmark: Type 1 has a “filled” or “blob-like” mintmark, while Type 2 has a clearer, sharper “S”.
– Mint errors: Off-center strikes, double strikes, or clipped planchets can significantly increase a coin’s value.
- A 1979-P Susan B. Anthony dollar with the Wide Rim (Near Date) variety in MS67+ condition sold for over $6,400.
- A 1979-S Susan B. Anthony dollar in MS65 grade has been auctioned for $13.00.
- A 1979-S Type 2 proof coin can be worth around $52 in uncirculated condition.
It is important to have your 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin professionally graded to accurately determine its value, especially if you believe it might be a rare variety or error coin.
