Overview

Historical significance

Issued from 1971 to 1978, this coin honors both the 34th President and Commander of the Allied Forces in WWII, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the Apollo 11 moon landing. 1978 was the final year of production for this large-sized dollar before it was replaced by the smaller Susan B. Anthony dollar.

Estimated value

Typically worth face value ($1.00) if found in circulated condition. Uncirculated examples or those with specific mint marks may be worth $2.00 to $5.00 to collectors.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as chemical abrasives can permanently damage the surface and reduce its numismatic value. Use PVC-free plastic holders or flips for long-term storage.
