1980 D Susan B Anthony One Dollar Copper Coin 1980 D Susan B Anthony One Dollar Copper-Nickel Clad Coin This 1980 D Susan B Anthony One Dollar coin is a notable piece of American numismatic history, featuring the first real woman to appear on a circulating U.S. coin. Minted in Denver, as indicated by the D mint mark located on the obverse above the date, this coin is struck on a copper-nickel clad composition consisting of a pure copper core bonded to outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel. The obverse depicts a right-facing portrait of the pioneering suffragist Susan B. Anthony, while the reverse showcases an eagle landing on the moon, a design adapted from the Apollo 11 mission insignia previously used on the Eisenhower dollar. This specific specimen is presented in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip, preserving its circular eleven-sided rim design and distinct business strike finish. As a circulation issue rather than a proof, it serves as a rugged example of the short-lived Susan B. Anthony series produced between 1979 and 1981. 1980 D Susan B Anthony One Dollar United States Copper-Nickel Coin Condition: This coin is in circulated condition, displaying visible contact marks, surface abrasions, and moderate wear on the high points of Susan B. Anthony's portrait and the eagle's feathers. The luster is diminished, and the fields show scattered scratches consistent with handling. The mint mark D indicates it was struck at the Denver Mint. The metal content is a copper-nickel clad composition, consisting of a pure copper core bonded to outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Historically, the Susan B. Anthony dollar was the first circulating U.S. coin to feature a real woman and was produced from 1979 to 1981 and again in 1999. It features a business strike type rather than a proof strike.
