1974 Eisenhower $1 Coin

Despite only being minted for seven years, the Eisenhower dollar remains a premier investment vehicle among collectors around the world. The fascinating designs decorating this rare coin are certainly a reason behind its explosive popularity with American investors.

While the coin doesn’t contain the .90 purity that characterized silver dollars minted prior to 1964, certain 1974 silver dollars are extremely valuable and coveted by numismatic collectors.
