The 1979 Liberty Silver Dollar is part of the Susan B. Anthony series, a landmark in U.S. coinage.
This coin was the first U.S. dollar coin to feature a non-mythical female, honoring the women's suffrage leader.
Distinctive by its size and shape, it's often mistaken for a quarter due to its similar color and edge.
Minted from 1979 to 1981, and once more in 1999, it has a face value of one dollar.
Collectors seek the 'Near Date' variety, where the date is closer to the rim, increasing its value.
Proof coins, specially minted with a mirror finish, are highly prized for their aesthetic and rarity.
The 'S' mint mark coins from San Francisco are often more valuable than those from Philadelphia or Denver.
Condition is key; uncirculated coins or those with little wear are more desirable to collectors.
Special sets, like the 1979 Liberty Silver Dollar in a government-issued proof set, can fetch higher prices.
