WHY SO VALUABLE?
The coin fanatic explained why the 1977 Eisenhower coin boasted such a high price.
He noted that Eisenhower dollars were hit from 1971 to 1978.
They were the first major dollar coin since the U.S. Mint stopped producing the peace dollar in 1935.
There were also plans to produce a dollar coin in 1964, but these coins were never officially released and were later melted down.
The TikToker noted that most of Eisenhower’s coins were minted from copper and nickel, the same composition coins are made from today.
However, for America’s 200th birthday celebration in 1976, the Mint produced numerous Eisenhower coins with 40% silver.
These silver coins can be identified by their silver edge, which lacks the copper band seen on plated coins.
They also weigh a little more than standard coated Eisenhower dollars.
