∙ 13y agoIt is a variation of the classic Susan B Anthony dollar coin. (see related link for picture)
The type II variation has a much clearer "s" above her shoulder. The type I has a blurred or rounded S.
1979 is the most common date for Susan B. Anthony dollars -- hundreds of millions of them were minted, so they are very common. They are made of a sandwich of copper & nickel -- like quarters are -- so they have no silver in them. Being as common as they are, even in mint uncirculated condition, they are only worth a couple of dollars at best. The first answer is correct UNLESS it is a 1979 P Near Date variety (sometimes called a Wide Rim variety) which would retail for $12. Or a 1979 S Type II proof which lists for $110. Even the 1979 S Type I proof lists at $8
For the type I the mintmark is filled and the type II the mintmark is clear.

The 1979-S type II is a proof only coin, the mintmark is very clear not a filled blob as the type I proof coin.
