Susan B. Anthony Coin Or SBA Coin

The 1999P and 1999D SBA was minted for circulation, as a way to bolster what little interest there was in small dollar coins, before the newly designed NA dollars came out in 2000.

They were not however included in the mint sets. So while there still tons and tons around, you won't be able to get a nice UNC from a mint set. Also the a 1999S proof was also issued, these also were not included in the yearly proof set, the mint issued these in a special satin and felt lined clam shell box. While these also are not particularly rare, they do have a seller proclaimed aura of being the "secret proof" because they weren't circulated or included in any proof sets. So shop around, the price on these are all over the place.

I think the reason, at least in part, was that the supply of baby dollars was getting low in the reserve system. The fed needed them and the SBA was still the official design, being the year before the Sacagawea would be released.

thanks ElonU ,. my email listed was my old one.
all, thanks. have started looking at the different types with the list.

if the 99's were mint for circulation where are they at ?
funny thing is I did not ever hear about the 99's until I started looking for SBA's

Here is a little list I made a few weeks back.
I'm looking at doing a SBA set and wanted all the info in one place. If anyone else needs it, this sheet works pretty well. The prices are all PGCS.

Dan

love the list.
bought 3 SBA coins at a good price.
wish I could get my camera to take very close up pictures.
bought a 79s near date that looks far
bought a 81s type 1 that to me looks type 2
bought a 81s type 2 that looks type 2 , knobs on end of S
gave the guy(coin shop) the $25 he wanted.

the 79 is not a near date, the 79S is a type 2, the 81 S I can't say.
