how much is a 1979 susan b anthony silver dollar worth today

[LeJeremiah]

Based on numismatic pricing guides, the value of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar depends almost entirely on its condition and mint mark. A common point of confusion is the "silver dollar" designation; these coins are not made of silver but are a copper-nickel clad composite. Therefore, their value is not based on precious metal content.

For most 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars found in circulation, their value is simply their face value of one dollar. The U.S. Mint produced hundreds of millions of these coins, so they are not rare. However, for coins in pristine, uncirculated condition, the value can increase to a few dollars.

The value can also be influenced by the mint mark, which indicates where the coin was made (P for Philadelphia, D for Denver, or S for San Francisco). A notable exception that commands a significantly higher premium is the 1979-P "Wide Rim" variety. This error coin features a date that is closer to the rim than the more common version. In circulated condition, this variety can be worth a considerable amount more than face value, and uncirculated examples are even more valuable to collectors.

To determine the precise value of your coin, it is best to have it examined for its specific condition, mint mark, and to see if it is the rare Wide Rim variety.
