    That's brutal. Looks like a solid 20 to me.

    The 1999 Silver Proofs are cool. I used to have one, realized it was worth $25 at some point and I sold it. image Anyone have a pic of one?

    I wish I could post my favorite, but GrandAm owns it. The 1981-S top pop. Maybe he will rent it to me someday.

    ANY of them when compared to the monstrosity that replaced it.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    The SBA in the OP is wonderful! It's too bad the never really circulated like that.
  • kiyotekiyote Posts: 5,588 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I don't have a photo of my PCGS MS65, but I think the Wide Rim '79 is a GREAT value. There's currently 341 in MS66. Compared to how many 1881 S Morgans in 67?

    "abandoned due to confusion with the quarter." <-- from the PCGS Registry site about the SBA.

    Can they drop that? The Sacagawea and Presidential dollars were just as big of flops.

    Did you get that one in change at Waffle House?




  • DentuckDentuck Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭
    A couple weekends ago I took MARTA (Atlanta's metro transit) into Buckhead, to the High Museum of Art,
    to see its new exhibit of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo paintings. I put in a twenty to buy my $2.00 train ticket,
    and got a handful of dollar coins in change! It was a fun diversion to paw through them looking for "Godless
    dollars" and such. A few of them were Susie B's, including one from 1999 --- the first of that date that
    I've received in circulation. (My local Post Office used to also spit them out of their stamp-vending machine
    as change.)


  • OverdateOverdate Posts: 7,157 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Where did all the Susies disappear? There were hundreds of millions made, they have to be somewhere!

    I don't think the government owns very many, they ran out of them just before the Sac was introduced. (Hence the 1999s.)

    Many have been sent to other countries that use the dollar as their currency. I heard somewhere, there are a lot of SBA's circulating in Ecaudore.
  • DentuckDentuck Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭
    I thought it was the Sackie Janes (not Suzie B's) that circulate in Ecuador?

    If I remember correctly, there was a rash of counterfeits down there a few years ago.

    You may be right. My memory is not the best any more.
  • SkyManSkyMan Posts: 9,493 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Some fun Susies. I quite like EoC's and Mr. Spud's.

    While like most people I think SBA's are rather ugly, I actually think the proof is kind of nice looking. Here's my one and only.

    "abandoned due to confusion with the quarter." <-- from the PCGS Registry site about the SBA.

    ...that reasoning always seemed silly to me. that would be the same as confusing a dollar bill with a 20. surely people LOOK at their money before spending it!.............YES!!?? image
