1979 Susan B Anthony Dollar Coin Obverse Appraisal

1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin (Obverse)

This item is the obverse side of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, visible through a clear plastic coin album or holder. The coin is circular, composed of a silver-colored metal, likely copper-nickel clad. The primary design element is a portrait of Susan B. Anthony, depicted in profile facing right, with her hair styled in a bun. Above her head, arching from left to right along the rim, is the word "LIBERTY". To the right of her face, slightly below eye level, are the words "IN GOD WE TRUST", arranged in three lines. Below the portrait, centered along the bottom rim, is the year "1979". The field around the portrait is adorned with stars, part of a ring of thirteen stars representing the original colonies, some of which are visible along the perimeter of the coin. The coin exhibits a circulated condition with a dull, slightly muted luster, indicating some wear from handling. There are no immediate signs of significant damage such as deep scratches or dents, but the surface appears to have minor abrasions consistent with typical circulation or contact within the coin holder. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for a circulating U.S. coin. The edges of the portrait and lettering show some softening, but details are generally clear and legible. No specific mint mark is discernible from this view, nor are there any obvious manufacturing errors. The coin is encased in a transparent plastic holder, which has individual square slots for securing coins, preventing direct handling and offering some protection.
