Eisenhower "Brown Ike" 40% Silver Proof Dollar (1971–1974 Issue)

Acquire a classic piece of 1970s numismatic history with the iconic Eisenhower "Brown Ike" Proof Silver Dollar. Struck exclusively at the San Francisco Mint for collectors, these 40% silver dollars were never issued for general circulation.

Affectionately nicknamed "Brown Ikes" by collectors due to their distinctive wood-grained brown government presentation boxes, this packaging houses the coin inside a protective black-framed display lens resting on a vibrant red velvet backing. The obverse features the left-facing portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, while the reverse displays the historic Apollo 11 moon landing insignia.
