1981-D Susan B. Anthony Dollar BU
The 1981-D Susan B. Anthony dollar represents a fascinating moment in modern United States coinage. This small-sized dollar coin stands out for its unique shape and the historical figure it honors on the obverse. Designed by Frank Gasparro, the front of the coin features a portrait of Susan B. Anthony, surrounded by the traditional inscriptions IN GOD WE TRUST and the year 1981. The Denver Mint's "D" mint mark is positioned discreetly behind her neck. On the reverse, Gasparro adapted the famous Apollo 11 insignia to create a striking space-themed design. It depicts an eagle landing on the surface of the moon while carrying an olive branch, symbolizing peace. This side of the coin features the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR. This particular coin survives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the original details of both historic designs.
