Pioneering Susan B. Anthony Dollar
Pioneering Susan B. Anthony Dollar is a pivotal piece of U.S. coinage, forever marking its place in history as the first circulating U.S. coin to feature the portrait of a non-allegorical woman. Struck by the U.S. Mint from 1979-1981 and again in 1999, this dollar coin honors the steadfast American civil rights leader, Susan B. Anthony, a true crusader for women’s suffrage. The coin’s design, created by Frank Gasparro, features the iconic image of Anthony on the obverse and an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse, a holdover from the earlier Eisenhower Dollar.
Despite its groundbreaking significance, the coin’s run was initially short-lived due to its controversial reception. It was frequently mistaken for a quarter due to its similar size and reeded edge, leading to public confusion and low adoption. Nicknamed the “Agony Dollar” by some, this Pioneering Susan B. Anthony Dollar nonetheless paved the way for future circulating coins featuring women, such as the Sacagawea dollar. For numismatists, certain varieties, like the 1979-P Wide Rim and Blob (S), remain highly collectible and valuable, and searching for this historic coin is a thrilling pursuit.
