Welcome to the forum, Lil joe. 

In 1979, there were two varieties of Anthony dollar minted in Philadelphia: the "Narrow Rim", also known as the "Far Date", and the "Wide Rim", aka "Near Date." The 'Narrow Rim" variety is the more common, and that is the coin you have. The "Wide Rim" variety is not really rare - examples are not hard to find - but since it is the more scarce of the two, it commands a premium. The higher the grade, meaning the nicer the condition of the coin, the higher the price. Only uncirculated coins with almost no marks visible to the naked eye are worth more than two figures. Raw, ungraded coins will not sell for as much as coins that have been authenticated and graded by one of the major grading companies, such as NGC.

As far as "going for a lot of cash" is concerned, be aware that sellers may ask any price that they want for any coin, but what matters is what coins actually sell for. Coins may be for offered sale on Ebay or Etsy for huge amounts of money, but that does not make the coin worth that much. 

While we are on the subject of shady or deceptive practices, please be aware that Youtube is full of "Get Rich From Pocket Change" videos that are very misleading. Do not look to Youtube for advice on coins.

And we've all seen things sit unsold for years until someone finds a sucker or finally decides to accept what the thing is really worth.

Where? Either it’s sucker bait or a high asking price that has no shot. Yours? One dollah. I already own hundreds of them nicer than this one.

The wide rim coins are only in 79. They switched to this design in 80 and forward. So it’s only rare on a 79. With that said even a wide rim 79 isn’t “big money”. In MS65 I think they are around $30-$40. Circulated like the one posted, even if it was a wide rim which it isn’t, would not be worth more than a few dollars probably.

But since the modification came later in the year, at first they WERE considered to be rare because they were very difficult to find.  The reason being that most of the mintage  was in storage and not in circulation.  Most of the close date coins didn't get released until years later and the stockpile was slowly drawn down.  (I say close date rather than Wide rim, because due to centering of the dies it is possible to have a "wide rim" coin with a narrow rim, but the distance of the date to the rim does not change.).
