Eisenhower dollars: values by year

Eisenhower dollars were made 1971–1978 (no dollars are dated 1975). Designed by Frank Gasparro. Pick a year to see what each mint mark is worth.

Every Eisenhower dollar from circulation is copper-nickel clad, not silver. Only some San Francisco collector coins are 40% silver: the 1971–1974 coins sold in blue (uncirculated) or brown (proof) packaging, and the 1976 three-coin Bicentennial sets. Clad S proofs were also made, so check the edge: no copper stripe means silver.
