1981 San Francisco (S) Susan B Anthony (SBA) Dollar Coin Proof 70 Deep Cameo (DCAM) PCGS Type 2

The 1981-S Proof Susan B. Anthony Dollar Type 2 represents one of the most desirable modern Susan B. Anthony Dollar varieties. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this proof issue showcases refined detail, deep mirrored fields, and historical significance tied to a short-lived U.S. dollar series.

Susan B. Anthony Dollar Proof Design

The obverse features a portrait of Susan B. Anthony, honoring the pioneering women’s rights leader, framed by crisp lettering and frosted devices against mirrored proof fields. The reverse displays an eagle landing on the Moon, originally designed for the Apollo 11 commemorative and symbolizing American achievement and exploration.

Type 2 Mintmark Variety

This example is the Type 2 variety, identified by its crisper, more clearly defined “S” mintmark. During production, the San Francisco Mint hand-punched mintmarks into the dies, resulting in two distinct styles. Earlier dies produced the softer-filled Type 1 mintmark, while later dies—used for this coin—created the sharper, more refined Type 2. Because of its clarity and shorter production run, the Type 2 is the more desirable variety among collectors.

PCGS Certified PR70 Perfection

This coin has been certified by PCGS and awarded the top grade of PR70, indicating a flawless proof coin with no post-production imperfections under magnification. Encapsulated in a secure PCGS holder, this perfect-grade example offers exceptional eye appeal, long-term protection, and maximum collector confidence.

The 1981 Proof Susan B. Anthony Dollar had a total mintage of 4,063,083 coins. As one of the final years of regular Susan B. Anthony Dollar production, certified Type 2 examples in perfect condition are especially sought after by modern U.S. coin collectors.
