The reverse of the SBA dollar is more-or-less a smaller-scale version of the image on the back of the Eisenhower dollar: an eagle landing on the Moon.

It's a Susan B. Anthony dollar, not a "Susan coin". The denomination is right there on the back, like all other U.S. coins. It's made of cupro-nickel, not silver. You can see the copper edge. It's worth one dollar.
The eagle is on the back. Susan B. Anthony is on the front.
The woman is Susan B. Anthony, and the coin is still worth one dollar.
Don't assume that every woman on a US coin is Susan B. Anthony!! Your coin has a picture of Miss Liberty on it.If you check any decent history book you'll discover that at that time women didn't have the right to vote and SBA was hated for her efforts to bring about equality. The chances that a men-only Congress would honor her on a coin would have been less than zero, even if it weren't illegal to depict a living person on US coins.
That's a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, and it's worth one dollar.
Susan B. Anthony was never good at writing speeches, so that held her back at first.
FG stands for Frank Gasparro, the coin's designer. I assume you have a small dollar coin with a picture of Susan B. Anthony on the front and an image of the Apollo Mission eagle on the back. This was a standard-issue coin at the time and is worth only face value, unless it's a Proof coin in its original holder.
If it's a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar it's not silver and I'm going out on a limb to say that the eagle isn't upside-down either. ALL U.S. coins minted since the 19th century have the front and back oriented 180º to each other so that the sides point oppositely when a coin is flipped side to side like the page of a book.
Please check again and post a new question. Anthony dollars were minted for circulation in 1979 and 1980, for collectors in 1981, and for circulation again in 1999. Those are the ONLY years. A coin with any other date on it is not an Anthony dollar.
Susan B. Anthony only appeared on $1 coins issued 1979-81 and 1999. Please don't assume EVERY woman on a U.S. coin is her. In fact, the vast majority of U.S. coins with a woman on them carry a picture of MISS LIBERTY, as in "Statue of ..."!!!!
above the DO in dollar on the back :]
The U.S. never used the mint mark "F" on a silver dollar. Assuming you have a 1935 $1 coin with the word PEACE on the back, what you're seeing is the monogram of the designer Anthony de Francisci. Please see the Related Question for more information.
