This is a 1999 Anthony Dollar and currently the only 1999 I have. I have 3 of the 1979 Anthony Dollars which are the first year. Usually the first year is the scarcest from circulation in a series. Some examples of this are the 1916-D Mercury Dime and 1932-D Washington Quarter. The 1979's are and aren't the scarcest from circulation because of the different rim varieties which are mentioned in the 1979 post. As it turns out the 1979's were the most minted and 1999's were the least minted overall for circulation. This one is in XF-AU and worth only $1.00. The reverse looks proof-like in luster and condition in the picture but is actually slightly circulated like how the obverse picture looks.

Susan B. Anthony Dollars!
These are some 1979-P Anthony Dollars and not the valuable kind. These are the narrow rim version. The wide rim versions have the date almost touching the rim. These are circulated and only worth face value. Here is a link to show the difference between the two versions:1979 Anthony Dollars. They were first approved because "Ike" Dollars were too big for vending machines and such. Many people confused them with quarters and they are rare to find in circulation today although many millions were produced in the first year alone. All three are from circulation one is from a gas station, one is from some sort of machine (I'm not quite sure exactly where because it was a gift), and the other was from change at the flea market that I buy coins from when the guy ran out of dollar bills (I also got a Sacagewea Dollar which I will post about next month). These coins are not that popular among collectors and were not that popular when they were issued so they were only issued from 1979-1981 and once again in 1999. After that the Sacagewea dollars took their place. I will get into more details when I post about one.
