Design and Specifications of the 1999 Dollar
The 1999 Susan B. Anthony Dollar marked the return of this coin after a nearly two-decade hiatus. It was minted to meet the demand for dollar coins in commerce and vending machines, bridging the gap before the introduction of the Sacagawea Dollar in 2000.
This coin honors Susan B. Anthony, a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement. The 1999 reissue was significant as it addressed a shortage of dollar coins in circulation and served as a transitional piece in U.S. coinage history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1999 Susan B. Anthony Dollars significantly impacts their value, especially for circulation strikes. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS-63 and above) command a premium due to their limited time in circulation.
For proof coins, grades of PR-65 and above are highly sought after, with particular attention paid to cameo and deep cameo contrasts. The presence of original mint luster and absence of contact marks or scratches are crucial factors in determining value.

Toning can play a role in the desirability of these coins, with attractively toned specimens often commanding a premium among collectors. The strike quality is generally good for this issue, but coins with exceptionally sharp details may be more valuable.
As the last year of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar series, the 1999 issue holds a special place in U.S. numismatic history. This historical significance, combined with its relatively low mintage compared to earlier years, makes it an interesting coin for collectors focusing on modern U.S. coinage.
