Design and Specifications of the 1980 Dollar
The 1980 Susan B. Anthony dollar was the second year of issue for this controversial coin series. It was designed to replace the larger Eisenhower dollar, but its similarity in size to the quarter led to public confusion and limited acceptance. Despite its lack of popularity in circulation, the coin has become an interesting piece for collectors, particularly those interested in modern U.S. coinage or women's history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1980 Susan B. Anthony dollars has a significant impact on their value, particularly for circulation strikes. Due to their limited use in commerce, many coins remain in excellent condition. As a result, coins in lower grades (below MS63) have minimal premium over face value.
For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above command higher premiums, with MS67 examples being scarce. Proof coins are generally well-preserved, with PR69 and PR70 examples being the most desirable for collectors.

Strike quality is an important factor for Susan B. Anthony dollars. Well-struck examples with sharp details on the portrait and eagle are more desirable. Luster also plays a role, with coins displaying full, cartwheel luster being more valuable.
While not common, some 1980 dollars may exhibit attractive toning, which can increase their appeal to collectors. Additionally, error coins, such as those with doubled dies or off-center strikes, can command significant premiums if discovered.
The overall unpopularity of the Susan B. Anthony dollar series in circulation has led to increased interest among some collectors, particularly those focusing on short-lived or unsuccessful coin designs.
