SBA or FDC?

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Found it in a stamp collection of First Day Covers. There is one for each mint postmarked in that city. Opinions?

SBA First Day Issue

Those are issued by the mint as first day covers. The susan b's came out in a p,d,s set.
there are also similar first day covers for the sacagawea, state quarters and now westward journey nickels.

the susan b's haven't really moved price wise, but i still enjoy the first day covers.

There's an old post on the subject but apparently SBA isn't in the title as a search failed to turn it up.

These are not overly unusual but there are at least a couple different varieties for them.

I could be wrong, but I do not believe that this was made by the US mint. If you look at the bottom right it states it is made by the "Postal Commemerative Society".

It is true that the mint now produces first day covers, but I believe this started with the Sac's and State Quarters.

A relatively common item. Privately issued.

David, right on! Mike, thanks so much for your great web site!

To add my 2 cents, I have two Philly SBA first day covers, privately issued but done up to look official, that have Wide Rims (WRs were produced late in 1979). Go figure! Rob

Curious. This one I haven't seen before.

Is that a wide rim 79-P?

Mine has a completely different look as well.
