UNITED STATES 1979 COIN 1 DOLLAR.

What is a 1979 dollar coin and why is it special?

The 1979 one dollar coin is unique because it was the first of its kind. Following the end circulation of the Eisenhower Dollar, there was a concern over the lack of diversity in the faces and figures portrayed on America coins. So, President Jimmy Carter signed the Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin Act into law in 1978. This act made Anthony the first woman to appear on a circulating US coin, which was minted from 1979 to 1981 and then again in 1999 to fulfill a renewed demand.

Now...what makes this specific coin special....the flattened strike of the 'T' in TRUST....this is not wear....this was a die issue....only a few of these out there....this one is an awesome example!
