1977 Eisenhower Dollar
The 1977 Eisenhower Dollar saw the reverse design revert to the original after the special Bicentennial issue in the prior year. The number of different coins issued also dropped from five to only three, as the 40% silver versions were no longer minted.
This years coins consisted of the circulation strikes produced by the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The 1977 Eisenhower Dollar only had 12,596,000 pieces produced in Philadelphia, making it the lowest mintage besides the 1973 coins. The San Francisco Mint produced a single clad proof version for inclusion in the annual proof set.
