1978-D $1 Eisenhower Dollar PCGS MS65
The Last Ike Dollar
The Eisenhower Dollar was America’s last large-sized dollar coin struck for circulation. It also had a relatively short lifespan, being struck from just 1971 to 1978. Here you have the clad 1978 Eisenhower Dollar from the last year of the series Plus, this highly sought-after Ike Dollar has been certified and graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-65 (MS65) condition, with very pleasing eye appeal and full mint luster.
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!
