Historical significance

The Eisenhower dollar was first minted in 1971 to honor both President Eisenhower, who died in 1969, and the Apollo 11 moon landing. 1978 was the final year this large-sized dollar coin was minted before being replaced by the smaller Susan B. Anthony dollar in 1979.

Estimated value

$1.05 - $2.00 (Typically holds face value if circulated; slight premium for high-grade uncirculated specimens)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent environmental damage. Handle only by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin to the coin's surface. Do not attempt to clean or polish the coin, as this can permanently damage its surfaces and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
