1980 Susan B Anthony Dollar Coin
Hello
About a week ago, I ask for some dollar coins at a local Circle K store. One of the coins I got was a 1980 Susan B Anthony dollar coin. This nickel clad coin has no wear at all. It looks like it was just release from the U.S. Mint. The coin is stamp with the mint mark letter "S". This coin has brilliance to it. The open area of this coin is in such good condition, I could use it as a mirror. The raised areas are very clean with no wear or scratches on it. Can someone tell me if the U.S. Mint issued Proof Susan B Anthony coins from the San Francisco Mint? As bad as this recession is here in Phoenix, it would not surprise me to see someone spending there coin collection. How sad to see this. Someday, I do hope to get a 1981 Susan B Anthony dollar coin from a bank, or store. No such luck for now. .... |

I've also seen 1980 business strikes that had almost mirror-like surfaces. Are the design elements "frosty", or is the entire surface mirror-like? take care, Scott |

Then it's probably a proof that got spent. Somewhere around here I've got an "Impaired Proof Set" that I put together out of coins I found in circulation. take care, Scott |
