1971-1978 Clad Eisenhower Dollars 100-Coin Bag BU

Product Details

These Clad Dollars were struck soon after the passing of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. In honor of Eisenhower's legacy, President Richard Nixon signed legislation that authorized the production of the first "Ike" Dollars, to be released in 1971.
Coin Highlights:

• Struck in layers of Copper/Nickel bonded to an inner core of pure Copper.
• Obverse: Features a striking profile of General/President Dwight David Eisenhower facing left with the legend of “LIBERTY” above his head. Underneath his chin is the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” with the date at the base of his profile. Mint mark appears below Eisenhower’s neck above the third and fourth number in the date.
• Reverse: Reflects the design of the Apollo XI’s insignia. Depicted is an eagle flying over the surface of the moon with an olive branch firmly grasped in his claws with a small Earth turned so that North America can be seen. Thirteen stars surround the eagle’s flight. The legend at the top displays “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” with the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” directly underneath, and the denomination of “ONE DOLLAR” at the bottom. The 1976 dated bicentennial design features the Liberty Bell in focus, with the Earth suspended behind in the background.
