Historical significance

The Eisenhower Dollar was the first US silver dollar-sized coin minted since 1935. It commemorates President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Apollo 11 moon landing. This 1972 issue represents the base metal circulating version of the coin.

Estimated value

$1.05 to $1.25 for circulated copies; higher for uncirculated or rare die varieties.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-quality holder (such as a PVC-free flip or capsule) to prevent scratches and oxidation. Avoid cleaning or polishing, as this can severely decrease the numismatic value.
