How Much Are Susan B Anthony Dollars Worth? - Do You Have This Coin?
good morning everyone welcome back to another edition of what's it
worth
with her boy a blue ridge hello alright so ifthis
is your first time to one of these videos it's real simple did you find a coolcoin
in your pocket change or perhaps you know just in a roll ofcoin
let's say you're an avidcoin
troll hunter and you like treasure hunting for various varieties key dates silver or you name it and you came across an oddity that you want to know more information on wellthat's that's what I do I do these what's it
worth
videos pretty regularly oncoin
s traditionally you know feel or look a little out of place okay today inthis
instance wehave
thesusan
banthony
dollar okay not just one specific date but we're going to be looking at all of the dates now it is a relatively short series okay goes from 1979 to 1981 and then there is quite a bit of a gap in between there and it's resumed for one year and one year only in 1999 and i will getinto why there was only a one year one date we release of the
coin
alright and by time you you know you listen and hear what Ihave
to say about that you'll understand exactly why they only made it for one year in 1999 but take a look at thecoin
that you see on screen okay if youhave
acoin
likethis
and youhave
found one of these there are a few things about it that you probably already know it is eerily similar in size and shape to a standard u.s. quarter a 25 cent piece over the yearsI
have
received these back and change as a quarter okay so that that has been kind of the blight of thesusan
banthony
dollar because of its size its appearance it's a copper nickel cladcoin
these are a few of the things that people did not like when they first came out second of all god blessSusan
Anthony
not a lot of people were really you know that hip on the overall design of thecoin
some would argue that it is a mini edition of the Eisenhower dollar because of the reverse okay it istrue okay the the reverse is the same as an AI dollar alright the obverse is its own brand new design of course an homage to
susan
banthony
one of the pioneers in US history to help shape america you know what it is today for all the dates represented with exception of the 1999 there is a P D and s mintedcoin
for business strike purposes now these arecoin
s that are released into circulation so in 1979 news the Philadelphia Denver and San Francisco mintedcoin
s same with 1980 1981 has allthree however with the asterisk notated on the screen here these three
coin
s were only made available in mid sets however Ihave
found some of these incoin
rolls okay I see good at Bank you ask forcoin
rolls obviously these are going to be mixed in with some of the golddollars
that you see today whether it's the Native American version or the presidential series that everybody just absolutely loves but in 1999 they only came out with two and that's the Philadelphia and Denver mintedcoin
s in there so as you can see take a look take an opportunity to look at the mintage figures that you see here of course in 1979 they weren't shy about producing a ton of these things so 1979 in both P D and s minted points are readily available out there st. for 1980 in spite of itsmuch
smaller mintage figures these are also found out there in the wild as well 1981 you won't see too often and in 1999 you will come across on occasion so if you found let's say for example 79 80sand 99 so that's what we're gonna be focusing on primarily how
much
are theyworth
raw okay straight out of a roll right and pocket change how does circulation wear dictate the value of thesecoin
s because they appear low mintage especially to 80 and 99 we're actually I'm doing a different format forthis
video for the what's itworth
and we're actually gonna explore the internet to determine howmuch
these areworth
so that way you guys can see specifically howmuch
we're talking about secondary market value eyes okay are they just
worth
face value or are theyworth
more in higher grades so we're gonna take a look at that plus you're gonna get an idea of some of my favorite sights that I love exploring to try and determine valuation ofcoin
s so that way not only onthis
particular video but in future type of videos on othercoin
s you'll know exactly where to go to find values on thecoin
s whether they're great it or not alright so thoseare the mintage figures that we
have
there hopefully they make some sense so let's go ahead and do some research online and Ihave
a few websites open okay so first and foremost the PCGS sight okay which is why the third-party craters that it's out there for your choosing if you wanted to sendcoin
s to be authenticated or certified it's a great resource for a number of reasons okay theyhave
an online price guide alright typicallythis
is more revolved around gradedcoin
s and notreally on
coin
s that are raw or just out of encapsulation there's a population report up here and then the results ofcoin
factscoin
facts traditionally you could go in to find a denomination that you want to research on inthis
casedollars
susan
banthony
is right here okay pretty quick to navigate through the site and there you go so you can look at information on both the regular strikes or business strikes is what I call them and the proof okay the proofcoin
s are only available inthese special US Mint provided product they
have
mirrored finishes and all that great stuff but youhave
every singlecoin
represented withinthis
particular series so what you could do because each date that you see here on my pointer is an actual hyperlink let's say you want to know more information on the 79p so you just go ahead and click on that it'll take you to the next screen in which it will give you all of the information that traditionally would be available in a printed priceguide you know
much
like the red book that you see here so what wehave
here is a really high graded thumbnail example it's a PCGS mint state 68 that was graded at one point plus also gives you all the specs okay the overall diameter size and millimeters the weight and grams the designer Frank Asaro it's got a reeded edge mintage the overall composition makeup and all ofthis
plus also gives you some other neat information like an auction record you know realize price on a mint state 67once sold for $15,000 back in 2014 through heritage auctions so it gives you a wide array of various information information which is very helpful in determining if whether or not the
coin
that youhave
isworth
grading or not okay because when it comes to grading it costs money so if you can handle spending howevermuch
the club he is in addition to the submission cost the firstcoin
right out of the gate will cost nearly $100 to submit so you got to make sure that youhave
acoin
that'sgoing to be
worth
it in the long run but you could take a look at all of the realized auction prices for all the grades all the way up to the max grade so it looks like what 60 67 or 68 is going to be the the sweet spot for the grave so amidst 868 if you're able to attain that particular grade and I do not recommendthis
by the way especiallySusan
BAnthony
's are not known for the best strikes ever $7,500 is what they perceive a price guide value is on a 68 there was one graded at thatlevel there 94 in 67 the valuation and graded examples are all gonna be similar okay you get into some of those states like 1980 and maybe 1999 in which those
coin
s are gonna beworth
a little bit more at the highest grade levels now realistically isthis
a price valuation that you should hang your head on not at all again we're going to take a look at acoin
s here that's sold all right that's sold for whatever the raw value is so I went in to eBay and I simply brought up thesusan
banthony
modern dollar as part of it so we're gonna be looking at some some closed out auction estimates here or not auction estimates these are auction realized sale prices so wehave
a four fully wrapped $19.99 bankrolls of one hundred seventy bucks okay that is what 80dollars
face because it's 20dollars
per roll so you can see they sell for about 2 bucks apiece there but that's for a bulk so here is for those of you that don't know there is what they call a wide rim exampleof the 1979 P in which the the very edge of the rim by the way these
have
kind of like a polygonal shape to the inner rim area if it's really close to the 9 in the date okay that does a wide rim okay you can actually tell the difference with the naked eye the narrow rim and the wide rim so those are about five to ten bucks circulated okaythis
one does not look like it's a high grade example by the way so that's a pretty cool variety you know to look out four if you're able tohere is a circulated lot of five
coin
s at 6.50 cents so we're going to go in here and just kind of look at all of the point options here's a seventy-nine wide rim plus another one for let's say fivedollars
and 20 cents shipped okay so I'm going to absorb all the shipping cost with that one you know and then you got proof so here's a brilliant hunk 1999 P&Esusan
banthony
dollars
okay low mintage for sevendollars
and fifty cents shipped so keep that in mind in 99because a lower mintage you know self worried about two or three
dollars
piece in a brilliant uncirculated condition a full roll ofsusan
banthony
is it looks like mixed dates $35.99 shipped that's $25 space so you're barely over a dollar a piece there here's another 79 you're at 299 here with free shipping so by the time you pay shipping you've probably made about a quarter or something like that here's 1980 1980 d the lowest why the lower mintage dates herethis
one istwo
dollars
and sixty nine cents shipped here is 1981 P D and s forcoin
set along with one Popecoin
this
one is about $13 shipped okay it's a 1981 only made and available it mint sets so that's whythis
one sells for a little bit more about two to threedollars
a piece so all in all as a rawcoin
okay one that has been circulated your part you're not going to command more than that about pace for that so you're better off spending them for a dollar apiece now if you got it backmistakenly as a quarter that you
have
made out seventy five cents not a bad gig people do it all the time it's crazy so yeah theyhave
souvenir sets and all that stuff high-grade raw examples are right around 2 to 3dollars
the 1980 ones are the exception to the rule inthis
whole conversation because they are a mint set only release so here's 3 points here 79ssusan
susan
banthony
what's cool is they made a san francisco business strikesusan
banthony
that was one of my favoritesgrowing up so three
coin
s for sevendollars
and 48dollars
shippedthis
guy would probably net out a profit about twodollars
okay which isn't a whole lot you can't get rich off of these unless you're someone that likes to kind of like spin the roulette wheel and send these off to PCGS or NGC in the hopes of obtaining a mint state 68 grade which you might be on the losing end of that proposition because there's only one graded as such so there you go not a whole lot of money tobe made here I think that that really kind of lends to its lack of popularity as a series because it's only a four year set again you know because of its close closeness and size to a quarter okay that kind of really killed the appeal to
this
Plus you know againsusan
banthony
isn't one of the most popular historical figures to grace thecoin
as evidenced bythis
particular series which sucks that just that's a shame you know me because I feel like didthis
is going to be acoin
series that might get popular probably long after I've gone I will be honest the same with the Presidential dollar series it's just been over produced and underappreciated and they all look pretty plain so well there you go hopefully that helps out I guess one more thing that we can look at is graded
coin
s to give you an idea of how close how close of a margin it is to send out points for grading and how really it is all risky sothis
is great collections you know it's the the bestsite to use to see just like a wide range of graded
coin
s from like 65 then-state 66 and up as you can see a few dates here likethis
firstthis
is twocoin
s in one lot and 80 P and an 81 P so it's got a tougher dated wine they're both in which graded mint State 66 through PCGS salt for only 55dollars
okay and that's probably on the lower end of the curve when it comes to grading thesecoin
s if you're if you're anywhere south of 66 let's say youhave
a mint state 64 or65 through whities grading companies don't bother selling it just give it away as a gift because they're not
worth
much
if anything you know midstate 66 you're looking at about 10 to 25dollars
depending on the actual date you want to be at midstate 67 it looks like and higher to be able to make any sort of measurable amount of money off of these things like here's a 81 P that's sold back in April 7th it's a mint state 67 for $900 okay that's a classic case of youknow it's
worth
it here's another one here a wide rim 79 P and then state 67 that's part of a collection it looks likethis
one sold for $2,100 and then here's another one here at 68 that's the finest gradethis
is a pop one which means it's the only one available in a 68 $5,300 some of the most extreme of circumstances they'reworth
that kind of money again it's extremely extremely risky to grade moderns I don't personally recommend it but you know ifit's something you wanted to do and you feel like you
have
acoin
that meets a certain criteria for you know a pretty valuablecoin
then by all means you know it might beworth
it I don't know but personally I would never do it because what you can lose is somuch
greater than what you could gain well I think that about covers itSusan
theAnthony
dollars
not the still even today after you know 20 years after its finalcoin
was released and the reason why the u.s. men had decided to gowith a one-year type $19.99 is it was considered a bridge date rich to white you ask well it was a bridge to the first-ever gold Sacagawea dollar that was going to be released in 2000 so what they did was they created the ninety nine to get production you know ramped up a little bit and it was an easier transition to go from there to the new gold
dollars
that we're used to seeing today however thesesusan
banthony
dollars
are very widely available if you went to the bank and asked for themthey will give you a number of them people are dumping brilliant uncirculated roles at the bank i come across them all the time and i you know they're not
worth
keeping for the mere fact that you don't make any money off of them not today at least not today but if you wanted to hoard some and keep them around for about fifteen to twenty five years you might make out then I don't know I'm not sure but yeah if you're looking to profit off any sort ofcoin
s thesusan
banthony
it's a really tough series to do so so i want to thank everyone for joining in sorry about the long video but it's a different format you get to see some of my favorite websites when it comes to evaluating your
coin
s ok PCGS website ebay for the most current up-to-date sell prices on allcoin
s okay some would argue that it's not the best site but if the they're selling regularly on there that it is the best site for prices of today in the moment in time and great collectionsheritage auctions again
much
kudos to both of those sites and all the images that they use oK we've you know for migrated pieces we know exactly where the market is for not onlySusan
B's but all the othercoin
s also that are out there so anyways I wanted to thank you guys for joining in onthis
video i'm your host blue ridge so brown thank you hope you guys found some value inthis
one and tell me what you think about the new format for the what's itworth
