Historical Context & Design Details:
A Cultural Milestone: The Susan B. Anthony series marked a monumental shift in American numismatics as the first circulating U.S. coin to portray a real historical woman rather than an allegorical figure.
The Obverse: Features Frank Gasparro's sharp, stern profile portrait of the famed women's suffrage leader surrounded by a distinctive 11-sided inner border.
The Reverse: Displays a scaled rendition of the historic Apollo 11 moon-landing insignia, depicting an American bald eagle carrying an olive branch over the lunar surface with planet Earth visible in the background.
Condition & Eye Appeal Notes:
Surfaces: Lightly circulated condition with great overall eye appeal. The coin retains a significant amount of its original satin mint luster, which flashes brightly around the design profiles and outer lettering.
Wear Analysis: Shows mild high-point friction and cabinet rub from light handling, localized on the highest curves of Anthony's hair bun and the eagle's breast feathers. The surfaces are free of heavy, distracting scratches.
Minor Flaws: Shows a small, dark carbon or toning spot near the letter "E" in "ONE" on the reverse lower rim.
Presentation: Cleanly secured inside a clear protective numismatic display capsule.
