Hi Jimmymack,

The 1979-P has a narrow rim and wide rim variety, with the wide rim being the scarcer and having a premium. Yours appears to be the narrow rim:

It's not special and it's not a Wide Rim, these are very common.

Is this coin special?
These were "special" to Baltimore subway commuters b/c that is what the fate of most SBA dollars ended up being :)

"By Paul W. ValentineApril 2, 1984
Remember the Susan B. Anthony dollar, the Edsel of American coins? Haven't seen many lately, have you?... Baltimore opened its subway last November with a set of change machines that give out Susan B. Anthony dollars, rather than more conventional nickels, dimes and quarters, in exchange for paper money. The "Susan B.'s," as they affectionately are called hereabouts, are used to purchase subway tickets."
