Other dates and varieties in this series
What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 47,799,000-coin mintage.
Two examples of this date can be worth very different amounts depending on wear. Work out where an example sits on the range above before deciding whether its asking price is fair, and ask the seller for more photos if the wear points aren't clear.
Grading fees would eat much of what this coin is worth, so raw examples are normal here and nothing to be wary of. Judge it on clear photos of both sides and the seller's track record instead.
Every Eisenhower Dollar listed here is priced by an individual seller, so the same coin in the same grade can differ by a wide margin on any given day. Sort by price, check Metal Points and order history for a sense of the seller's record, and message them if the photos don't show enough to grade confidently.
