Best Answer

You could not have an 1887 Susan B. Anthony dollar for several reasons:

> Anthony dollars were struck only in 1979-81 and 1999

> Ms. Anthony was very much alive in 1887 so her portrait couldn't legally be used on a coin

> She was considered a rabble-rouser by the male-dominated society of the day so there is no way her portrait would be approved for use on a coin in any case.

Bottom line, remember the Statue of Liberty? Compare the face on the statue to the face on the coin...

Please don't think that every woman on a US coin is Susan B. Anthony! What you have is called a Morgan dollar, after its designer G. T. Morgan. The image on all Morgan dollars (and on ALL true silver dollars, in fact) is Miss Liberty ... as in "Statue of"

In any case Ms. Anthony was very much alive in 1884 so legally her image couldn't appear on a coin. Worse yet, she was reviled by the male-dominated society of the time because of her support of gender equality, so no one in government (almost all men, btw) would have ever considered her for depiction on a coin.

Check that coin again. The Susan B. Anthony dollar was only minted 1979-81 and 1999. The woman on a 1903 dollar is Miss Liberty!

In any case Ms. Anthony wouldn't have appeared on a 1903 dollar because (a) she was very much alive at the time and (b) she was reviled by the male-dominated society of the time.

Considering that the 1885 silver dollar coin was a MORGAN silver dollar, not Susan B. Anthony, any 1885 Silver Susan B Anthony Dollar coin would be fake.

Ms. Anthony didn't appear on the dollar coin until the US placed her on the dollar coins minted from 1979 to 1981 (with an additional limited run in 1999). All those coins were copper-nickel clad rather than silver.

As far as the 1885 Morgan dollar is concerned - it depends on the condition of the coin and the mint it came from; as of 8/8/2016, the value ranged from $24.61 for a coin in good condition with no mintmark (from Philadelphia) or an S mintmark (from San Franciso) to $489 for an uncirculated coin with a CC (Carson City) mintmark.
