CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

From an overall mintage of 3,677,175 proofs, it is estimated that 400,000 to 500,000 of these carry the Type 2 or clear mint mark. A small portion of 1979-S Susan B. Anthony dollars have this elusive clear S mintmark. The original die, which created a filled S, was re-cut later in 1979, producing this low-mintage scarcity. These proofs were not issued separately, but only as part of that year's 5-coin proof set, making them a tough find individually.

Expert Comments

David Hall

All proof Susan B. Anthony dollars are Deep Cameo. The few non-Deep Cameos on the PCGS Population Report are holdovers from the time before PCGS began designating "DCAM" on Susan B. Anthony dollars.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
