Apparently you can ask a bank to order them. Guess it would be up to them at that point and as GDJMSP said you may have to go to a few banks.

Most likely and we couldn't dump them fast enough. Today we shipped the same buyer 100 rolls of Kennedy halves that have been taking up space.
Now we're working on the Illinois quarters.

 

The one to watch for is the 1979 wide rim near date that;s the king of the Susies and ,the clear S variety proof . They are not rere Ruben i did get serveral in circulation.The reason why you don't see many ,because people do hoard them. They don;t circulate because i think people can;t distingush them from a quarter the mint made a real mistake with that one.

I love the SBA look and design, sans SBA!!! I much prefer it the Sac or Prez and I think a liberty design or just about anything else on it would have been great. It's amazing how stupid people in our government are, how did any of them ever think SBA was good idea? I mean if your going to give me a real person, Teddy R, Madison, Monroe, Adams, heck Paul Revere or Patrick Henry. But SBA??? :goofer:

 

The bank I worked for could not order them...I'd imagine most can't. What I would do is simply go to whatever bank you frequent and ask a teller if they have any. They probably won't, but give them your personal information and ask them to contact you if they ever get any in. I can tell you from personal experience that they come in occasionally in bunches and are actually an annoyance to the tellers. We had a customer that wanted them and we kept his phone number so we could call him if we got a stack of them.

 

you really don't get them in change much here. And when you do, their not as nice as this one.

 

Here's a susan b anthony i got in circulation today there out there.

did you have to post that at this hour? I'm gonna have nightmares of that thing!

 

The only way to pick up IKE dollars from a bank is to have a friend there.
At the same time there are others there that are first in line for them.
Folks at banks normally know this stuff.

 

The parking lot next to where I work has a pay box and gives out dollar coins in change. If you put in a twenty, you get eighteen dollar coins for change! Right now they are all Martin Van Burens, but I have received more than 50 1980-S SBA's in change there this past summer. They must have had a stash at the bank. 1999 P and D's show up there as well and even a 1979 near date. The 1981's were mint set issues only.

 

I think your going to see less and less of the SBA's

probably not. They ran out of them in 1998, which is why they had to mint the 1999s.

 

there were many au to au+ 1979 to 1999 susan anthony and 2000 to 2001 sacagawea dollars out there. just keep on purchase it from the bank rolls. you should find many. i got a lot.

 

I thought they were minted in 1999 as a collector only issue as a way to "build up" to the release of the Sac Dollar in 2000.

 

As understood it, they were actually running out and demand was growing...which lead to the Sac...

But the 1999 was never meant for circulation I don't believe. If memory serves, they were only released as a mint set type issue where you got one from both the P and D mints. They also had a P proof issue. I remember this because it was one of the first mint products I purchased.

--------------

In the early 1990's, discussion of striking a new small size dollar coin was begun. This time government officials were armed with the knowledge of the mistakes of the Anthony Dollar. Discussions centered on striking a new small size dollar coin that would be golden in color and have a distinctive edge so that it could be easily distinguished from the quarter dollar. The striking of a new small size dollar at that time was not to be. Besides the queasiness of the mint to venture into another failed dollar coin, there was one other major problem. That is, more than a decade after the Anthony Dollar was discontinued, there were still millions of them in Federal Reserve vaults.

By the late 1990's the supply of Anthony Dollars was finally dwindling down. After congressional and public hearings, it was decided that a new small size dollar coin with a plain edge and golden in color would be struck in 2000. The obverse would have the likeness of Sacagawea, the Shoshone Indian girl that helped guide Lewis and Clark through the northwest on their exploratory expedition of the Louisiana Purchase. In the mean time, the Anthony Dollar supply was decreasing so quickly that the mint struck 1999 dated Anthony Dollars to fill the need for a dollar coin until the Sacagawea Dollar could be struck and placed into circulation.

 

Fair enough, I guess I was wrong.

 

I am going to remember this and try to be absolutely as graceful when I am in error!
