Of the Bicentennial coinage, the Eisenhower dollar is the most elusive, making unremarkable circulated coins perhaps worth pennies over their face value. Nevertheless, it’s fun to find one!

History, links, and additional info:

Available resources about the history of the manufacturer and/or origin and the item.

The Eisenhower dollar was only produced for seven years (’71 to ’78), but the 1776-1976 coins were produced in both ’75 and ’76 (so there are no coins with the 1975 date), although there are two “types” because of production issues. Only a handful of Type I were made, though, making those the rare finds. See the very interesting history of this unpopular coin on Wikipedia, linked below.
