Description
The 1977 (D) Eisenhower Dollar is a dollar produced at the Denver Mint as part of the Eisenhower Dollars 1971-1978 series. With a mintage of 33.0 million, this is a less common issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 72% of production. 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. Return to the standard eagle-on-moon reverse after the Bicentennial. Only clad business strikes and proofs — no silver collector versions. Struck at the Denver Mint, established in 1906 from an earlier assay office that processed Colorado gold rush metal. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $9 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 22.7 grams, 38.5 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7424.
