Susan B. Anthony

50

If you have a wide rim Anthony, the date will be almost touching the rim with only a very small space between them. Compare the 1979 wide rim to any other Anthony dollar and you will readily see the difference. If you see no difference then your is probably not a wide rim.

Your grandma.. no one told you this hun?

The coin is still in circulation today and is just a dollar.

because she treat it was under fair.

Unless it is in official mint packaging or a rare die variety/error it is only worth $1. Loose uncirculated Susan B Anthony dollars are easy to come by and there is next to no collector demand because collectors hate the design and the coin and those who want to collect it already have. The only demand is for proof or mint sets, not for loose coins.

She was born in Adams,Ma. Her then family moved to Rhode Island , but Anthony spent most of her adult life in Rochester, NY.

Lucy Read Anthony was her mother and Daniel Anthony was her father.

Don't assume that every coin with a woman's face on it is Susan B. Anthony! U.S. coins at that time carried stylized images of MISS LIBERTY. Your coin is called a Peace dollar; the design was introduced to honor the end of WW1. Please see the Related Question for more information.

And in any case, SBA was reviled at the time because American society was still very much male-dominated in those days so it's extremely unlikely her image would have appeared on a coin regardless.

Anthony dollars were only struck in 1979-81 and 1999 and are small (26.5 mm) coins made of cupronickel.

she fight for the rights of women to vote

I may not know the exact woman who got women to vote, but I do know that Jeannette Rankin was the first woman elected to Congress, and she was a former sufferage organizer. Hope that helps a little. :) ------------------------------------------------------- I would also suggest you widen your search to include the women's suffragette movements in other countries - in the UK your starting point should be to read up on the life of Emmeline Pankhurst(14 July 1858 - 14 June 1928).

The following are for circulation strikes only:

1979-P 360,222,000

1979-D 288,015,744

1979-S 109,576,000

1980-P 27,610,000

1980-D 41,628,708

1980-S 20,422,000

1999-P 35,892,000

1999-D 11,776,000

SBA dollars were made for collectors in 1981 but none were put in circulation at the time. Since then some have "leaked" into circulation as sets were broken up and spent. Mintages are:

1981-P 3,000,000

1981-D 3,250,000

1981-S 3,492,000

First off, Susan B Anthony dollars ceased to be minted in 1999, all of them unless they are proof are exceedingly common and are not worth any more than $1. Sacagawea dollars are also really common and are worth no more than $1 unless they are proof.

she believed in equal rights because she thought it was not fair to women that all the women got to do was cook and clean

These women shared the view of world equality and not just in the United States. These people were significant in propelling America into what it is today.

Susan B. Anthony cast an illegal vote in 1872 because she wanted to prove that women were citizens.

==========

In 1872 women were still disenfranchised (couldn't vote) in most of the USA. In their 1871 convention, the National Woman Suffrage Association decided to encourage their members to attempt to vote and when refused, to appeal their denial under the 14th Amendment. Section 1 of that amendment says, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

The legal argument was pretty sound and by creating a conflict where a case could be established and decided in the courts, they hoped to get a ruling that women were citizens and thus were entitled to vote. Unfortunately the strategy failed due to some creative legal wranglings like finding Ms. Anthony guilty of illegally casting a vote and then not enforcing the penalty so that she couldn't have grounds to appeal.

she wrked in the woman sufferage for more than 50 years for the right for women to vote.

Sorry, the Susan B. Anthony dollar was never struck in silver. They were made of copper-nickel just like dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Unless it's an uncirculated or proof coin, it's only worth $1.

She grew up in Rochester, New york

Anthony dollars have the same reverse design as Eisenhower dollars, a depiction of an eagle landing on the moon. The design is an adaptation of the Apollo 11 emblem worn by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969.

She is associated with feminism, and also with a dollar coin that was once issued with her face on it. She also associated with the sufferagist movement.
