Owner's Comments

[ RG#005]* 1979-S Susan B. Anthony Dollar (Type 1) PR70DCAM { PCGS-4 }. Highly frosted devices against highly and multiply reflective fields show-off this first-year "Suzie B". The adoption of this smaller format dollar never really caught on, and the gaming industry moved from machines that used to gobble up those larger dollars to ones that took casino-specific tokens. Though never popular with the public, this is the proof version of the coin released for general circulation. Susan B. Anthony is the face of women getting the vote in the US. Set History for Slot 5: This coin had been previously acquired for a type registry set of US Coins from eBay. * Number 5 in Ron Guth's book "100 Greatest Women in Coins".

All proof Susan B. Anthony dollars are Deep Cameo. The few non-Deep Cameos on the PCGS Population Report are holdovers from the time before PCGS began designating "DCAM" on Susan B. Anthony dollars.
