Susan B Anthony Dollar 1979-P BU

After the less than impressive reaction for the Eisenhower Dollar, the US Mint wanted to mint something smaller but still with the same face value of $1. Keeping the same reverse as the Eisenhower Dollar, the obverse was going to depict Lady Liberty. After much deliberation, the famous social reformer, Susan B. Anthony, was given the honor of having her picture on the new dollar. The US Mint produced over 500 million over the span of a few years, with very little excitement from the public. Since it was smaller, many people confused it with the quarter, and the main use became for vending machines and mass transit transportation fare. The 1979-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar contains a copper-nickel alloy and was minted at the first mint in the US, the Philadelphia Mint. Sparkling in brilliant uncirculated condition, the 1979-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar is readily available for your collection!
