Dansco Coin Albums have long been a trusted companion for both experienced numismatists and novice coin collectors. The Eisenhower Dollars with Proof 1971-1978 Dansco Album is designed specifically for storing and displaying Eisenhower dollars, including the proof coins.
This album comes in a 5/8″ binder, providing ample space to hold up to 48 coins. It consists of 4 Dansco pages (series: 8176-1 to 8176-4), each carefully designed to hold and showcase all Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971 to 1978, including the proof versions.
The obverse of these coins features President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s portrait, while the reverse depicts an eagle landing on the moon. Engraved by Frank Gasparro, these coins were minted in various compositions. The collector’s versions were struck in 40% silver, while the circulation issues were made of copper and nickel.
It’s worth noting that no Eisenhower coins were issued in 1975, and silver clad coins were no longer produced after 1974. A special coin was launched in 1976, featuring the Liberty Bell and the moon on the reverse. From 1977 to 1978, the reverse design reverted to the eagle landing on the moon.
Eisenhower coins minted in silver weigh 24.59 grams, while those made of copper and nickel weigh 22.68 grams. All Eisenhower dollars measure 38.1 mm in diameter. These coins were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints.
Dansco Coin Albums are known for their durable construction and convenient features. The pages are attached with metal screws, allowing for easy addition and replacement as desired. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your coin collecting journey, Dansco Coin Albums provide a reliable and organized way to preserve and showcase your Eisenhower dollars.
