Value of 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar

$1.00

The value of a 1979 one dollar coin, also known as the "Susan B. Anthony" dollar, is generally its face value of $1.00. These coins were produced as part of an effort by the United States government to create a smaller, lighter dollar coin to replace the unpopular Eisenhower dollar. However, the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin faced challenges due to its similar size to the quarter, leading to frequent mix-ups and confusion among consumers. As a result, the production of these coins was discontinued after 1981, and they are no longer in circulation.
