In searching through my girlfriend's spare change box I discovered three 1979 Susuan B Anthony dollars, but interestingly enough, they were each from a different mint! All randomly acquired at different times she said. Anyway, thought it was kinda neat!
Very neat. I was able to purchase 25 SBA's at an auction a year ago for $25 plus tax. How could I go wrong? I was quite surprised later to find 79P, 79D, 79S, 80P, 80D, 80S, 81P, 81D, 81S, 99P (several), and 99D (several). Although I didn't get any of the rare varieties, it did fill help complete some empty holes in my collection, especially for the 80and 81 years.
I just started collecting, but want to get a set of 99's for sure as well as 2000 Sacajaweas, but this is a great start
What are the chances? Did she intentionally put each one in or was it random? If it was by chance that is pretty cool. Isn't the S mint a proof only issue on these? It would seem somone decided they needed the quick dollar over the proof premium.
Sweet. I have read somewhere to check the eagles talons, the more detail, the better. Even heard talk of a special designation (like FBL ot FS) but not sure if that is only speculation.
thnx for all the info. my girlfriend just throws all her "silver" change in a box, so when I started getting addicted to staring at coins for extended periods about a month ago, she brought over a box with about $150 to go through. The mint mark set was completely random. So far I've only gone through the dollar coins and state quarters because I've been going through a childhood collection i recently rediscovered as well.
