Drescription: The Eisenhower Dollar (1971–1978) is a large-format (38.1mm) copper-nickel clad coin featuring President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and a tribute to the Apollo 11 moon landing on the reverse. Designed by Frank Gasparro, it was the last large-size dollar for general circulation, with 40% silver-clad versions also produced for collectors.

Key Details and Characteristics:

Design (Obverse): Left-facing portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower with "LIBERTY" above, "IN GOD WE TRUST" on the left, and the date at the bottom.

Design (Reverse): An adaptation of the Apollo 11 mission patch, featuring an eagle landing on the moon with Earth in the background.

Bicentennial Design (1975–1976): Features a dual date "1776–1976" and a reverse depicting the Liberty Bell superimposed over the moon.

Collector Issues: 40% silver-clad, produced at the San Francisco Mint.

Mint Marks: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver ("D"), and San Francisco ("S").

Varieties: Collectors often distinguish between Type 1 (low relief), Type 2 (modified relief), and Type 3 (high relief) reverses, particularly for 1971 and 1972 issues.

The coins saw limited daily circulation due to their size, frequently being used in casinos.
