The Eisenhower Dollar was introduced in 1971 as the first circulating dollar coin since the Peace Dollar retired in 1935. The United States Mint also produced a limited number of 40% Silver Proof Eisenhower Dollars from 1971-1974 for collecting purposes. These Proof Finish versions are known as "Brown Ikes", compared to the regular issues known as "Blue Ikes" due to their blue envelope packaging. The Proof "Brown Ike" Eisenhower Dollars got their name from its faux wood patterned government outer packaging. This set includes all 4 issues of the 40% Proof Eisenhower Dollars from 1971-1974 in their original plastic case packaging! The outer brown envelopes are not included. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, these dollar coins are just as pristine as they were 50 years ago since they have never left their official government packaging. This mini collection is a fantastic piece of a special, albeit brief, era in American numismatic history. Collect this complete set of proof finish silver Eisenhower dollars for cheap today!
