This complete six-coin set from 1979 showcases the full range of circulating U.S. denominations from that year, each featuring iconic American figures and designs. Included are the Susan B. Anthony dollar, notable as the first U.S. coin to honor a real woman, with its distinctive eleven-sided border and bold eagle reverse. The Kennedy half dollar presents a sharp profile of the 35th President, paired with the Presidential Seal on the reverse. The Washington quarter, Roosevelt dime, Jefferson nickel, and Lincoln penny round out the set, each bearing their respective portraits and symbolic reverses—from Monticello to the Lincoln Memorial. All coins are dated 1979 and display the inscriptions “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” reflecting the era’s patriotic and historical themes. This set is ideal for collectors seeking a preserved snapshot of late 20th-century American coinage.
