<h2>Jaime Hernandez</h2><br/> Late in 1979, the border of the Susan B. Anthony coin was redesigned and widened to give the coin a better appearance. Therefore, for 1979 there are two different varieties. <br/><br/>One of the varieties is the "Narrow Rim" variety. However, this variety is the norm for 1979 dollars and is usually not used when describing a normal 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar. The second variety is referred to as the "Wide Rim" variety. The "Wide Rim" variety is the scarcer of the two and usually commands a significant premium.<br/><br/>A regular 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar with a "Narrow Rim" will have the rim of the coin separated from the date of the coin.<br/><br/> A 1979 "Wide Rim" variety or the scarcer variety from 1979-P Susan B. Anthony Dollars, will have the date of the coin very close to the rim of the coin, and almost touching. <br/><br/> After 1979 the "Wide Rim" variety was then used to strike all other Susan B. Anthony dollars for the remainder of the series.
