FREE: Two 1979P Susan B Anthony Wide Rim and Narrow Rim Dollar Coins! Face Value Starting Bid! LC-1

The listing, Two 1979P Susan B Anthony Wide Rim and Narrow Rim Dollar Coins! Face Value Starting Bid! LC-1 has ended.

Here are the two varieties for the 1979P Susan B Anthony dollar coins. The one on the left is the wide rim variety. The one on the right is the narrow rim variety. Look under the "19" on the coins to see the difference in the rims. The wide rim is the scarcer variety.

This highly collectible variety is noted by the distance between the rim and peripheral design elements, most prominently between the date and rim. Because of this, this variety is sometimes referred to as "Far Date" and "Near Date". This is actually inaccurate as the date was not moved, but instead the border was widened. They are also often referred to as "Narrow Rim" and "Wide Rim". The Mint began striking the 1979-P SBA Dollars with the "narrow border". Late in 1979 the border was widened to give the coin a more aesthetic appearance. The "narrow border" variety is found on all 1979 dollars from all of the mints. The 1979 "wide border" variety can only be found on the "P" mint issues.

Since the Mint has released their entire production of Anthony Dollars, it does not appear that the "Wide Border" variety makes up nearly half of the 1979-P production. We may never know exactly how many were struck.

These are circulated coins, but are in very good condition. I am starting the bidding at face value to give all bidders a chance to add these coins to their collection.
