The United States Mint introduced their second modern series of dollar coins in 1979. The previous Eisenhower Dollar series had been produced with the same diameter as the classic silver dollars, but struck in copper-nickel clad composition. The coins had proven too bulky for everyday commerce and were rarely used in circulation. The new series would see a significantly reduced diameter and concerted efforts to promote use of the coins with the general public.

The 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar (Buy on eBay) featured a portrait of the famous figure from the women’s rights movement in the 19th century. The reverse design featured the same design as the prior series, which was based on the Apollo 11 mission insignia and depicted an eagle landing on the moon with an olive branch. Both sides of the coin included an 11-sided border to help differentiate the denomination.
For this first year of issue, production for circulation took place in large numbers at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mint in anticipation of widespread use in commerce. Across all three facilities more than 750 million coins were produced. The official circulation release date was July 2, 1979. The coins with the “P” and “D” mint marks were placed within the 1979 Mint Set.
The Philadelphia issue has two different varieties identified as “Narrow Rim” or “Wide Rim”. The coins with the narrow rim will show the date of the coin close to the rim, while the wide rim will show the date farther away. The “Wide Rim” variety carries a premium.

The United States Mint honors our nation’s presidents by issuing $1 coins featuring their images in the order that they served. The program began in 2007 with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison.
Note: In December 2011, Secretary of the Treasury Timothy F. Geithner directed that the United States Mint suspend minting and issuing circulating Presidential $1 Coins. Regular circulating demand for the coins will be met through the Federal Reserve Bank’s existing inventory of circulating coins minted prior to 2012.
The Presidential $1 Coin Act (Public Law 109-145) seeks to revitalize the design of United States coins and return circulating coinage to its position as an object of aesthetic beauty in its own right. Accordingly, the Presidential $1 Coins feature larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the mint mark.
