The 1974-D Eisenhower Dollar is a classic piece of modern U.S. coinage, struck at the Denver Mint during a time when the nation’s first large-size dollar coin of the modern era was circulating. Designed by Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro, the obverse features a bold portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, honoring both the man and his legacy as a World War II hero and U.S. President.

Struck in copper-nickel clad composition, the 1974-D issue is part of a series beloved by collectors for its size, design, and connection to the early 1970s space program—the reverse depicts the Apollo 11 mission insignia with an eagle landing on the moon, a tribute to American achievement. With a total mintage of 46,517,000 coins, circulation strikes were produced in large numbers, but few have survived in high-grade condition.

This example has been graded MS66 by ICG (Independent Coin Graders), placing it among the finer known survivors. In fact, estimates suggest the ICG population in this grade is 100 coins or fewer, making this a condition rarity for the issue. The sharp details, clean fields, and brilliant luster make it a standout addition for any registry or Eisenhower Dollar set.

Collectors recognize the challenge of acquiring Eisenhower Dollars in top condition due to their large planchets and heavy circulation use. Securing an MS66-certified 1974-D Ike Dollar ensures not only a beautiful example of this short-lived series but also an investment-worthy piece with limited availability at this level.
