1971-D $1 MS67 认证号13773359, PCGS号7407

Type: Eisenhower Dollar, Type 1, Clad (1971-1978) Designer: Frank Gasparro / Michael Collins & James Cooper Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Weight: 22.70 grams Diameter: 38.50 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 68,587,424 General Type Description: In 1970, Congress passed legislation authorizing a new one dollar coin to commemorate both the death of General Dwight David Eisenhower and man's first landing on the moon (on July 20, 1969). The obverse features a bust of Eisenhower facing left; the reverse copies the insignia of the Apollo 11 mission, minus the name of the mission. “Ike” dollars made for circulation were of a cupro-nickel composition. These were the “Ike” Dollars made for regular circulation, thus they contain the same metal alloys as the other copper-nickel “clad” coins of lower denominations. Despite mintages in the tens and scores of millions, the Ike Dollar rarely appeared in circulation and was considered more of a nuisance since most cashiers' drawers did not contain a space for them. Nonetheless, they remain very popular with collectors. All of the dates in this series are extremely common in both Proof and Mint State. High-grade examples are very scarce because most were not well-made to begin with, they clanged against each other in bags, and the wide-open, low-relief surfaces are particularly vulnerable to attack. For new collectors, the Eisenhower Dollar is a perfect starter coin and it remains one of the most popular coins on the PCGS Set Registry. Special Uncirculated and Proof versions containing 40% silver were struck and sold at a premium to collectors. A new design was created to celebrate the 1976 Bicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: This is the first year in which the Denver Mint struck Eisenhower Dollars. The 1971-D Eisenhower Dollar is usually well struck. Since this is the first year that it was struck, many coins were saved and still exist in uncirculated grades, as follows: MS60–MS63 – Many coins still exist in this grade and can be located without much trouble; MS64 grade it is not common, but still easy to locate; In MS65 grades it becomes somewhat scarce and some searching is required but yet still obtainable without much difficulty; In MS66 grade it becomes very challenging to locate and possibly 1,000-1,500 coins survive in this condition; MS67 is the highest grade available for this coin and very few coins exist in this grade. There are probably less than 30 examples which would grade MS67. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Description: Acquired 7/2012 from James Sego, JMS Coins.
