About the 1979 Susan B. Anthony Uncirculated First Year of Issue Mint Mark Set:
• Three coins struck in .750 copper and .250 nickel bonded to an inner core of 1.000 copper.
• 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollars from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints.
• The Anthony Dollar was first minted in 1979 and was Americas first small-size Dollar coin.
• It was also the first circulating coin to feature an identifiable woman.
• It depicts Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906), the womans rights pioneer whose work led to the 19th Amendment to the Constitution that assures women the right to vote.
• The reverse is an adaptation of the official Apollo 11 mission patch; it shows an American eagle landing on the moon, with the Earth above its head.
• The coin was struck for just four years between 1979 and 1999.
• The first-year 1979 coin was struck at all three U.S. Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
• This collection includes all three 1979 coins from all three Mints.
• Coins are identified by the Mint mark on the obverse, on the left side just above Anthonys shoulder.
• P identifies the coin struck at Philadelphia, D is Denver, and S is San Francisco.
• These coins were struck almost 30 years ago.
• The Anthony Dollar was unpopular with the public because it was too easily confused with the Quarter.
• It was the same color and almost the same size as the Quarter.
• Ironically, the Anthony Dollar is now one of the most popular U.S. coins.
• Due to the short minting period, supplies of Anthony Dollars are limited.
• All three of these coins are in Uncirculated condition.
