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, who appears on the obverse. Both the obverse and the reverse of the coin were designed by Frank Gasparro. source: wikipedia
