1974-S Proof Eisenhower Silver Dollar
The 1974 Eisenhower Dollar was once again produced across five different versions. Coins were struck for circulation at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Coins were produced for collectors at the San Francisco Mint. This year's collectors versions included a 40% silver uncirculated coin, 40% silver proof coin, and clad proof coin. The silver versions were sold individually and the clad version was sold as part of the annual proof set.
Notably, no Eisenhower Dollars were issued dated 1975. The US Mint used the year to begin producing the special Bicentennial issues dated 1776-1976.
