In 1971, the first circulating dollar coin since the Peace Dollar retired in 1935 was released - the Eisenhower Dollar. A relatively short-lived design, The United States Mint also produced a limited number of them with 40% Silver content from 1971-1974 for collecting purposes. These uncirculated issues are colloquially known as "Blue Ikes" due to their blue envelope packaging, compared to the Proof finish "Brown Ike" Eisenhower Dollars which are named after their faux wood patterned outer packaging. Now you can collect the first year of issue of these history-making dollars in their original blue packaging for a great price! These sets also included a blue token, which collectors are also quite fond of.
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. After 1974, the Eisenhower Dollars were no longer minted with any silver content. Secure this key date Eisenhower Dollar in its unique blue packaging for your collection today!
