Description: This is a rare and authentic 1971 D Liberty one dollar coin featuring Eisenhower and a flying eagle. The coin is circulated and made of copper with a fineness of 0.94. It was minted in Denver, United States, and is uncertified. The coin is a great addition to any collection and a must-have for coin enthusiasts. Why Was the 1971 Eisenhower Dollar Made?Even though the United States had no real need for a large dollar coin at the start of the 1970s, the gaming industry developed an acute need to find a replacement for the silver dollars it used to feed tens of thousands of slot machines. This “need”, and the recent passing of beloved war-hero-turned-President Dwight D. Eisenhower, presented Congress with an opportunity to cater to the needs of the industry.

In a compromise, silver-clad versions were authorized to be struck and sold to collectors.Signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon (formerly Eisenhower’s Vice President) on December 31, 1970, the Bank Holding Company Act Amendments of 1970 authorized the production of the coin. id="aswift_5" name="aswift_5" browsingtopics="true" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" width="696" height="280" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" allow="attribution-reporting; run-ad-auction" src="https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=0&client=ca-pub-7752030598277842&output=html&h=280&adk=1540456223&adf=2019635503&w=696&abgtt=7&fwrn=4&fwrnh=100&lmt=1728582766&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=3720721986&ad_type=text_image&format=696x280&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcoinweek.com%2F1971-eisenhower-dollar-a-collectors-guide%2F&host=ca-host-pub-2644536267352236&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=174&rw=696&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJtYWNPUyIsIjEyLjcuNiIsIng4NiIsIiIsIjEyNy4wLjY1MzMuOTkiLG51bGwsMCxudWxsLCI2NCIsW1siTm90KUE7QnJhbmQiLCI5OS4wLjAuMCJdLFsiR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjEyNy4wLjY1MzMuOTkiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTI3LjAuNjUzMy45OSJdXSwwXQ..&dt=1728582765746&bpp=5&bdt=4843&idt=-M&shv=r20241007&mjsv=m202410070101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D07856da840679c8b%3AT%3D1728582343%3ART%3D1728582343%3AS%3DALNI_MZEXV8oW8b6xIc0THeHjA7O6Rh0CQ&gpic=UID%3D00000f3810a66c00%3AT%3D1728582343%3ART%3D1728582343%3AS%3DALNI_MYNpvhf-hbfGoZrK9NJruZRvNwPZw&eo_id_str=ID%3D0888d243eaa5b3d2%3AT%3D1728582343%3ART%3D1728582343%3AS%3DAA-AfjYao2BjQ2TOhZmhI1xc6Qg7&prev_fmts=0x0%2C324x250%2C324x250&nras=2&correlator=7541695249390&frm=20&pv=1&u_tz=-420&u_his=8&u_h=900&u_w=1440&u_ah=790&u_aw=1440&u_cd=24&u_sd=2&dmc=8&adx=155&ady=1499&biw=1378&bih=695&scr_x=0&scr_y=820&eid=44759875%2C44759926%2C44759842%2C31087802%2C44795921%2C95341936%2C95343455%2C95344188%2C95344777%2C95335246&oid=2&pvsid=3082326074484711&tmod=2082830803&uas=3&nvt=1&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&fc=1408&brdim=33%2C25%2C33%2C25%2C1440%2C25%2C1378%2C782%2C1378%2C695&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=128&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&tdf=2&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&nt=1&ifi=6&uci=a!6&fsb=1&dtd=428" data-google-container-id="a!6" tabindex="0" title="Advertisement" aria-label="Advertisement" data-google-query-id="CLrbhs6whIkDFdo5RAgdpm4VrQ" data-load-complete="true" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; width: 696px; height: 280px;">(Incidentally, the amendments also authorized the General Services Administration (GSA) to sell 2.8 million Carson City Morgan Dollars from the vaults of the United States Treasury.)First-year production totals were large (47,799,000 for the 1971 Eisenhower Dollars struck at the Philadelphia Mint and 68,587,424 for the Denver-Mint-produced 1971-D Eisenhower Dollars) but paled when compared to the mintage of the div > div > div > div:nth-of-type(4) > div > p:nth-of-type(5) > strong:nth-of-type(5) > a" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none; pointer-events: auto;">1971 Kennedy Half Dollar, which was struck in Cu-Ni clad for the first time this same year.
