1979 Susan B. Anthony One Dollar Coin

This is a 1979 United States Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, the first year of issue for this specific series. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core, giving it a bright silver-colored appearance. Its physical characteristics include a unique eleven-sided inner border within its circular reeded edge, intended to help distinguish it by touch from the quarter dollar, which it closely resembles in size (approx. 26.5mm in diameter). The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Susan B. Anthony designed by Frank Gasparro, with the inscription 'LIBERTY', the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 13 stars. The date '1979' is located at the bottom. A discernible 'P' mint mark above the date indicates it was minted at the Philadelphia Bureau of the Mint. The coin shows signs of circulation (About Uncirculated to Choice BU grade looks unlikely due to flat wear on the high points of the hair and cheek). There are visible contact marks, minor scuffs, and a slightly dull luster consistent with a coin that has spent time in commerce. Most notably, this appears to be the 'Narrow Rim' (or 'Far Date') variety, determined by the distance of the date from the rim, which is the standard strike for the 1979-P issue. The strike quality is average for the period, with standard relief typical of late 20th-century American business-strike coinage.
