The 1977 Eisenhower Dollar is a sought-after coin among collectors, known for its unique design and historical significance.
This coin was the last of the Eisenhower Dollars, which were minted from 1971 to 1978, honoring the 34th U.S. President.
Unlike earlier versions, the 1977 coin does not contain silver, but is made of a copper-nickel clad composition.
Two mints produced the 1977 Eisenhower Dollar: the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark) and the Denver Mint (marked with a 'D').
The coin features a profile of Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse.
Collectors often seek the 'Type 2' variety from the Philadelphia Mint, known for its clearer and more defined strike.
Uncirculated and proof versions of the coin are more valuable, with proof coins bearing the 'S' mint mark from San Francisco.
The value of a 1977 Eisenhower Dollar can range from a few dollars to over a hundred, depending on condition and type.
Special collector sets, such as the 1977 Silver Dollar with the 'S' mint mark, can fetch higher prices among enthusiasts.
Preserve your 1977 Eisenhower Dollar in a protective case to maintain its condition and long-term value.
