Description

1999-P Susan B. Anthony Dollar Pattern, MS66
Copper-Zinc-Nickel Experimental Planchet

1999-P $1 Anthony Dollar, Experimental Planchet MS66 PCGS. Alloy listed as 73% copper, 25% zinc, and 2% nickel, a never-adopted combination. In 1999, the Mint was testing alloys for a new dollar coin that would have a gold appearance yet possess the same electromagnetic signature as the then-current Anthony dollar. Several 1999- and 2000-dated Statehood quarters and Anthony dollars were struck in various experimental alloys. Presumably, those pieces should have been destroyed, but not all were. This example is primarily sea-green, but has dashes of rose and gold toning. Well-preserved but softly defined overall and a few degrees off center toward 3 o'clock. The rims retain the rough texture of the planchet prior to the strike.
