1978-S Proof Eisenhower Dollar
The 1978 Eisenhower Dollar marked the final year of the series, after only eight years duration. The following year, the small size dollar featuring Susan B. Anthony would be introduced in its place. This series proved to have an even shorter duration.
During 1978, Eisenhower Dollars were produced for circulation at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Mintages showed increases from the prior year, but remained well below the levels experienced earlier in the series. The 1978-S Proof Eisenhower Dollar was issued by the San Francisco Mint in a clad composition for the annual proof set.
