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.

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.
