1978 Eisenhower Ike Dollar Coin Uncirculated

1978 Eisenhower Ike Dollar Coin Uncirculated

This 1978 Eisenhower Ike Dollar is an uncirculated specimen featuring the classic profile of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and the Apollo 11 moon landing insignia on the reverse. As the final year of the large-size dollar coin series, this piece is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core. The coin displays original luster typical of a business strike and remains in its uncirculated state, showing the bold details of the eagle landing on the moon. This specific coin does not feature a mint mark, indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It is a significant piece for collectors looking to complete a set of the last large United States dollar coins issued for general circulation.

Eisenhower and the Apollo 11 moon landing. The strike type is a business strike intended for general circulation. There is no official third-party professional grading for this specific item.
