The Eisenhower dollar symbolizes at least two numismatically significant elements, being the first dollar coin minted during the copper-nickel clad era (which began in 1965) and the last regularly issued dollar coin with physical dimensions approximating the traditional silver dollars of earlier times. While most Eisenhower dollars are made from copper-nickel clad, many uncirculated pieces were minted in a 40% silver format at the San Francisco Mint and bear an ?S? mintmark. In 1975 and 1976, all Eisenhower dollars honored the nation?s bicentennial with a 1776-1976 dual date on the obverse and a special reverse design with the Liberty Bell superimposed on the surface of the moon. The bicentennial design, by Dennis R. Williams, was replaced in 1977 with the coin?s regular reverse visage ? the Apollo 11 insignia. While hundreds of millions of Eisenhower dollars were made, copper-nickel clad business-strike specimens grading MS65 or better are remarkably scarce. This is because the coins are relatively large and heavy and thus more prone to surface gouges and other imperfections during shipment in bags. Thus, copper-nickel clad business strikes grading MS60-64 are typical; in MS65 they are scarce, are rare in MS66, and prove virtually elusive in MS67. It should be noted that 40% silver Eisenhower dollars are much more common in the higher Mint State grades because they were minted with the much greater level of care generally afforded numismatic strikes.

Watch Now: 6 Interesting Facts About the Ike DollarHistory of the Eisenhower DollarThe United States Mint minted Eisenhower Dollars from 1971 through 1978. There were many special strikings in different finishes and compositions marketed primarily to coin collectors. Frank Gasparro designed this coin to honor President Dwight D. Eisenhower and man's first landing on the moon in 1969. The obverse features a portrait bust of the late president facing right. The reverse is an adaptation of the official Apollo 11's mission insignia. TipThe 1972 Eisenhower silver dollar coin may hold the most value of all years. During its eight-year production run, the United States Mint modified the dies several times by changing the relief and strengthening some of the design elements. These changes in 1972 resulted in three different die varieties. One of them is rare and actively sought after by collectors. According to the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) Price Guide, an Eisenhower Dollar from 1972 in circulated condition is worth between $1.05 and $1.50, as of October 2022. However, on the open market, 1972 D Silver Dollars in perfect, uncirculated condition sell for up to $2,000. A special reverse design was implemented to celebrate the nation's Bicentennial. The Treasury Secretary selected Dennis R. Williams' design featuring a rendition of the Liberty Bell superimposed on the moon. This reverse design celebrated both the recent moon landings and the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The mint began production of these dual-dated bicentennial coins of 1776-1976 in 1975 to meet the anticipated demand of collectors across the country. Therefore there are no Eisenhower dollars dated 1975. Although they do not circulate anymore, occasionally, people will bring their rolls into their local bank to exchange for paper money.
