Susan B Anthony Dollar First Day Of Issue Coin And Stamp Numismatic Covers Appraisal

Susan B. Anthony Dollar First Day of Issue Coin and Stamp Numismatic Covers

This is a set of three First Day of Issue numismatic covers featuring the Susan B. Anthony one-dollar coin, housed within a dark blue protective display album. Each cover commemorates the first day of issue for the coin on July 2, 1979. The set is particularly significant because it includes one cover from each of the three major United States Mints: Philadelphia (PA), Denver (CO), and San Francisco (CA). Each white envelope (cachet) features an encapsulated Susan B. Anthony dollar coin on the left side, surrounded by a red, white, and blue patriotic graphic. To the right, each cover is franked with a 15-cent American Flag postage stamp and bears a circular black ink cancellation mark corresponding to its specific mint city and the date July 2, 1979. The coins themselves are copper-nickel clad and feature the profile of the women's suffrage leader. The condition appears to be well-preserved within plastic sleeves, though some light foxing or yellowing typical of paper aging is visible on the envelopes. The cancellation marks are clear and legible. This collection represents a specific moment in numismatic history when the US Mint attempted to introduce a smaller dollar coin to the public.
