Anthony faces right, her determined expression capturing the spirit of the suffragist who fought tirelessly for women's voting rights. The inscriptions \"LIBERTY\" and \"IN GOD WE TRUST\" frame her profile, with the date \"1980\" below and the \"S\" mintmark positioned near the right edge. The design honors Anthony's legacy as a champion of equality and social reform who dedicated her life to securing voting rights for women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e The reverse features the iconic Apollo 11 mission insignia, adapted from the Eisenhower Dollar design. An American eagle descends toward the lunar surface, olive branch in its talons, with Earth rising in the background. The distinctive 11-sided inner border creates a unique visual signature that sets this dollar apart from all other U.S. coins, helping to differentiate it from the quarter despite their similar size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Collectors Choose This Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Susan B. Anthony Dollar series holds a special place in American numismatic history as the first circulating U.S. coin to honor a real woman (rather than an allegorical figure like Liberty). The 1980-S represents the second year of production during the original run that lasted from 1979-1981, before the series was discontinued due to public confusion with the quarter. In uncirculated condition, these coins showcase the sharp details and original surfaces that serious collectors demand. The San Francisco Mint strike adds regional collecting appeal, making this an essential piece for type set collectors, Susan B. Anthony series enthusiasts, and anyone building a comprehensive collection of modern U.S. coinage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImages are stock photos and may not represent the exact coin shipped.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"US Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51027097354522,"sku":"SUSBANTHONY_80S","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/0612\/0474\/files\/SUSBANTHONY_80S-2.jpg?v=1760738334","url":"https:\/\/smyrnacoin.com\/products\/1980-s-susan-b-anthony-dollar-uncirculated","provider":"Smyrnacoin.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
