The value of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin depends on several factors, including its condition, mint mark, and any potential errors or rare varieties.
- Most 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars are worth face value ($1) or slightly more if circulated. For example, circulated 1979-P, 1979-D, and 1979-S coins typically fetch between $1 and $2.
- Uncirculated coins and specific varieties can be significantly more valuable. Uncirculated coins, especially those in high grades (MS65+), tend to be more desirable to collectors.
- The rarest varieties are the most valuable. The [1979-P Wide Rim] (“Near Date”) variety and the [1979-S Proof Type 2] (“Clear S” mintmark) are considered key rarities.
- Errors can dramatically increase a coin’s value. Examples include die adjustment strikes, off-center strikes, blank planchets, clipped planchets, double strikes, and gas bubbles.

- Check the condition: Look for wear on the high points of the coin, such as Susan B. Anthony’s cheekbone and the eagle on the reverse. Circulated coins show wear, while uncirculated coins retain their original luster.
- Identify the mint mark: The mint mark (P, D, or S) is located on the obverse, to the right of Anthony’s portrait, [according to Benzinga].
- Look for the Wide Rim variety (on 1979-P coins): The date will be very close to the rim.
- Examine the S mint mark (on 1979-S Proof coins): A clear, sharp “S” indicates the rarer Type 2 variety, [notes Coin ID Scanner].
- Check for errors: Look for double strikes, off-center strikes, or other irregularities.
