Updated August 24, 2026

1971 Eisenhower Ike Dollar Copper Nickel Coin 1971 Eisenhower Ike Dollar Copper Nickel Uncirculated US Coin This 1971 Eisenhower Ike Dollar is a first-year issue for the series, featuring the iconic profile of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and the Apollo 11 moon landing mission insignia on the reverse. Struck in copper-nickel clad, this uncirculated business strike represents the transition to base metal coinage for the dollar denomination. The reverse depicts an eagle landing on the moon clutching an olive branch with the Earth visible in the distance, celebrating American achievement in space exploration. This specific coin shows no mint mark, indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It remains a staple for collectors of large-size modern American currency and serves as a historic tribute to both a military general-turned-president and the historic lunar landing. 1971 Eisenhower Ike Dollar Copper-Nickel Clad Business Strike Condition: This coin is in circulated condition, displaying significant surface wear, scratches, and numerous contact marks consistent with heavy use. The high points of Eisenhower's portrait and the eagle's feathers show flattening. There is visible toning and dark spotting, particularly on the reverse near the lettering and the eagle's wing. No professional grading is provided. This is a 1971 business strike from the Philadelphia Mint, as indicated by the absence of a mint mark above the date. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel clad composition (a core of pure copper with outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel). Historically, the Eisenhower Dollar was the first silver-dollar-sized coin issued by the United States Mint after a 36-year hiatus, featuring Frank Gasparro’s design honoring both President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Apollo 11 moon landing. Eisenhower dollar, Ike dollar, 1971, US currency, one dollar coin, numismatics, coin collecting, Dwight D.
