FREE: 1972-D Unc. Eisenhower Silver Dollar

The listing, 1972-D Unc. Eisenhower Silver Dollar has ended.

Eisenhower Dollars were struck to commemorate Dwight D. Eisenhower, who died in 1969, and the Apollo 11 moon landing of the same year. It was minted for only an eight-year period (inclusive). The coins were often saved as mementos of Eisenhower and never saw much circulation outside of casinos. Special Bicentennial issues were minted in 1975 and 1976.

The reverse design was recycled (in shrunken form) for the Susan B. Anthony dollar in 1979 and remained on the dollar coin until 1999, when that dollar was replaced by the Sacagawea dollar in 2000, which did not continue the design.
