Description
The 1973 (D) Eisenhower Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Eisenhower Dollars 1971-1978 collection. The Denver Mint struck 2,000,000 dollars dated 1973. The obverse features Dwight D. Eisenhower facing left and the reverse displays an eagle landing on the moon with an olive branch in its talons, commemorating the Apollo 11 lunar landing. No 1973 Eisenhower dollars were released into circulation: the Philadelphia and Denver coins were sold only in mint sets, and 230,798 Philadelphia and 230,742 Denver pieces left unsold were melted. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $18 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 22.68 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7413.
