The 1974-D Eisenhower dollar is a United States dollar coin minted at the Denver Mint. It features a portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and a stylized representation of an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse, commemorating the Apollo 11 mission. This particular coin was produced as a circulating dollar, although some were also struck in silver-clad versions for collectors.
These coins hold significance both historically and numismatically. As circulating currency, they represent a specific era in American coinage. For collectors, the presence of the “D” mint mark, denoting Denver production, adds to its collectibility, along with its condition, which is a prime factor in determining value. The historical context of its design, tying it to a notable moment in space exploration, enhances its appeal.
