1976 P Type 2 - Eisenhower Dollars, Grade: Choice Uncirculated
A Very Popular President and War Hero of WWII of the Forties and Fifties ! ! !
Eisenhower dollars were struck to commemorate Dwight D. Eisenhower, who died in 1969, years. Although once considered a marginal set to collect, Eisenhower dollars have significantly gained in popularity with collectors in recent years. In part, this is due to the large size of the coin and the fact that Morgan "silver" dollars went out of production in 1921 - a set that is relatively expensive to complete in high grades. Conversely, complete sets of high-grade Eisenhower dollars can be obtained for a modest price and the Apollo 11 moon landing of the same year. It was annually minted for only eight years.
The Eisenhower Dollar is a $1 coin issued by the United States government from 1971-1978. The Eisenhower Dollar followed the Peace Dollar after a lapse of 36 years in dollar coinage and is named for General of the Army and President Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, who appears on the obverse. Both the obverse and reverse of the coin were designed by Frank Gasparro.
The Eisenhower dollar was the last dollar coin to contain a proportional amount of base metal to lower denominations; it has the same amount of copper-nickel as two Kennedy Half Dollars, four Washington Quarters, ten Roosevelt Dimes; of twenty Jefferson Nickels. Because of this it was a heavy and somewhat inconvenient coin. It was often saved as a memento of Dwight D. Eisenhower and never saw much circulation outside of casinos. This led to its short time in circulation and its replacement by the smaller, but even less popular, Susan B. Anthony Dollar in 1979.
