The Bi-Centennial 'Ike' Proof dollars were produced in two varieties, with the tail of R in Dollar straight or curved. Struck only as Proofs and available originally only in Proof Sets.

The Eisenhower Dollar was struck to celebrate Dwight D. Eisenhower, who died in 1969, and the Apollo 11 moon landing of the same year. It was minted for only a seven year period. The coins were often saved as mementos of Eisenhower. Special Bicentennial issues were minted in 1975 and 1976.

Some Eisenhower Dollars were minted in a silver clad to be sold to collectors. All of these coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. Coins minted in 1975 and 1976 for the Bicentennial come with the quarter and the half dollar of that year. Two varieties of the dollar were produced in 1976 and can be distinguished by the thickness of the lettering.

These coins are re-packaged in an airtight plastic packaging, perfect for display.

History of the 'Ike' Dollars

The Eisenhower Dollar is a dollar coin issued by the United States government from 1971–1978 (not to be confused with the Eisenhower commemorative dollar of 1990.) The Eisenhower Dollar followed the Peace Dollar and is named for General and President Dwight David Eisenhower. Special reverses were added to all quarter dollar, half dollar, and dollar coins minted in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the bicentennial of America's independence. In addition, the date was shown as 1776-1976 for the quarters, half dollars, and dollars minted in 1975 and 1976. The reverse of the Eisenhower Dollar was designed by Dennis Williams and shows the Liberty Bell in front of the moon. source: wikipedia
