1973-S $1 Eisenhower Silver Proof

1973-S 40% Silver Ike Dollar Proof From The San Francisco Mint

Eisenhower Dollars are treasured pieces of American history. America’s last large-sized dollar coin struck for circulation, during its relatively short lifespan from 1971 to 1978, a small number of these coins were struck in 40% silver from 1971 to 1974—like these 1973-S Dollars. What makes these 1973-dated coins even more coveted is the fact that they’re key-date coins are from the lowest mintage year when Eisenhower Dollars were issued only as part of annual Mint Sets!

A Stirring Tribute to “Ike”

The vivid memories of this big dollar are one of the reasons many people started collecting coins in the first place. On the obverse is the bust of Dwight David Eisenhower—the nation’s 34th President and a United States Army Five-Star General who served as the Supreme Allied Commander of Allied Forces in Europe during World War II. The coin’s reverse is the same design as that from the insignia of the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. These two designs together pay tribute to one of America’s greatest presidents and one of the country’s greatest achievements all on one coin!

A Key Coin For The Entire Eisenhower Dollar Series!

It’s been more than 40 years since the last “Ike” Dollars rolled off the presses at the United States Mint and today many Ike Dollars can command high prices. Finding one or two of these beauties today is tough enough let alone scoring one the Proof condition that this one struck at the San Francisco Mint comes in. With its beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields, it’s a true find. While the 1971-S Eisenhower Dollar Proof saw a total mintage of 4,265,237 and the 1972-S Proof saw distribution of 1,811,631 specimens, the 1973-S dipped to barely over 1 million units—just 1,013,646 to be exact. Once it dawned on the numismatic community that final mintage figures for the coin were so low, values for it immediately began rising, making the 1973-S 40% Silver Eisenhower Dollar Proof one of, if not THE undisputed key coin for the entire series.
