1978-S Clad Eisenhower Dollar Gem Proof

The Ike Dollar commemorates the great accomplishments of General/President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the success of the Apollo XI moon landing mission.
The Eisenhower Dollar, aka the Ike Dollar, was the first dollar minted after the Peace Dollar that was intended for circulation.

Coin Highlights:

• Contains Copper/Nickel bonded to an inner core of pure Copper.
• Obverse: Features a striking profile of General/President Dwight David Eisenhower facing left with the legend of “LIBERTY” above his head. Underneath his chin is the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” with the date at the base of his profile. Mint marks appear below Eisenhower’s neck above the third and fourth number in the date of the coin.
• Reverse: Reflects the design of the Apollo XI’s insignia. Depicted is an eagle flying over the surface of the moon with an olive branch firmly grasped in his talons with a small planet earth turned so that North America can be seen. Thirteen stars surround the eagle’s flight.
• This issue features the mint mark “S” for the San Francisco Mint just above the date.
