The Eisenhower dollar is the one dollar coin issued by the United States Mint from 1971 to 1978; it was the first coin of the denomination issued by the Mint since the Peace dollar series ended in 1935. The coin depicted President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the front, with both sides designed by Frank Gasparro.
In 1965, due to rising gold bullion prices, Mint began hitting copper-nickel coins instead of silver. No dollar coins were issued in thirty years, but starting in 1969, the legislators sought to reintroduce dollar coins into the trade. After Eisenhower died in March, there were numerous proposals to honor him with new coins. While these bills are generally ordered for widespread support, enforcement is delayed by disputes over whether new coins should be in base metal or 40% silver. In 1970, a compromise was reached to attack the Eisenhower dollar in base metals for circulation, and in 40% silver as a billable item. President Richard Nixon, who had served as vice president under Eisenhower, signed a law authorizing the printing of new coins on December 31, 1970.
Although collector pieces sell well, the new dollars fail to circulate to some degree, except inside and around the Nevada casino, where they take over the token issued privately. There is no dollar dated 1975; coins from that year and from 1976 bear the double dates of 1776-1976, and a special reversal by Dennis R. Williams in honor of the twelfth century of American independence. Beginning in 1977, Mint attempted to replace the Eisenhower dollar with smaller pieces. Congress passed the dollar Susan B. Anthony, which began in 1979, but the coin also failed to circulate. Given the modest cost and short series, the complete set of Eisenhower dollars became more popular among coin collectors.

The silver dollar has never been a popular coin, circulating quite a bit except in the West; it serves as a tool for memonetisasi metal and generally sitting in the bank safe once hit. The Peace Dollar, the last silver outstanding dollar, was not struck after 1935, and for most of the year in the quarter century after that, the value of gold from silver dollars did not exceed 70 cents. In the early 1960s, silver prices rose, and large silver dollar stocks in the hands of banks and government were obtained by the public through the redemption of silver certificates. This led to a lack of silver dollars in the western countries where the pieces were circulating, and interests there sought the issuance of more dollars.
On August 3, 1964, Congress passed a law regulating 45 million dollars of silver. This law came into force when coins vanished from circulation as silver prices rose past $ 1.29 an ounce, making silver dollars worth more as bullion than currency. New pieces are meant for use in Nevada casinos and elsewhere in the West where "hard money" is very popular. Numismatic periodicals complain that attacking dollars is a waste of resources. The law has been ratified at the urging of Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield (Democrat-Montana), who represents a country that uses a lot of silver dollars. Despite the efforts of Mint Director Eva Adams and his staff to persuade him, Senator Mansfield refused to consider a cancellation or postponement, and on May 12, 1965, the Denver Mint began attacking the 1964-D-Mint Peace dollar had obtained congressional permission to continue conspicuously 1964-dated coins to 1965.
The public announcement of new pieces was made on May 15, 1965, only to meet with the storm of objections. Both the public and many congressmen see this problem as a poor use of Mint resources in times of severe coin shortages, which will only benefit the coin trader. On May 24, one day before the congressional session was hurriedly called, Adams announced that the pieces were considered strikes, never intended to be circulated. The Mint then stated that 316,076 pieces had been beaten; all reportedly melted amid heavy security. To ensure that there will be no repetition, Congress includes provisions in the Coinage Act of 1965 that prohibit silver dollar coins for five years. The action also removes silver from a penny and a quarter, and reduces the silver half-dollar to 40%.

Inception
In 1969, Mint Administration Director Nixon Mary Brooks sought the reissue of a dollar coin. At the moment, rising gold prices threaten the continued use of silver in Kennedy's half-dollar, but Brooks hopes to keep the dollar as a silver coin. Brooks's proposal for a silver dollar was recently opposed by convinced chairman of the House Banking Committee, Wright Patman, to his better judgment, by Nixon's predecessor Lyndon Johnson, to support the continued use of silver in half dollars.
On March 28, 1969, former president and General PD II Dwight D. Eisenhower died. Soon afterwards, New Jersey Representative Florence Dwyer, like Eisenhower, a Republican, suggested that the proposed dollar coin bears a resemblance to her. He spoke to Missouri Democratic Representative Leonor Sullivan, who agreed that the dollar should bear the portrait of Eisenhower as "the same time" with a half dollar, similar to Democratic president John F. Kennedy. A bill was filed by Connecticut Congressman Robert N. Giaimo to authorize the Eisenhower dollar, to be hit without silver content. The Joint Commission on the Coinage, drawing members from the administration and from Congress, including Giaimo, recommended the dollar in the spring of 1969. It also called for the removal of silver from half a dollar, and for transfers from the Ministry of Finance to the General Service Administration (GSA) rare, so they can be sold. Giaimo notes that the coins will be useful in casinos, which striking their own tokens without any dollar coins in circulation, and in the vending industry, which began selling higher valuables.
On October 3, 1969, the House Banking Committee issued a law for the Eisenhower dollar without silver, with Patman declaring that he hopes to be approved by the House in full on time for the anniversary of the final president on 14 October. On October 6, the bill sponsor lost a procedural vote that would allow without an amendment. While some representatives speak out against the way in which the legislation should be considered, Iowa Congressman HR Gross objected to the proposed base metal composition of coins: "You will do President Eisenhower's memory of no use to print a dollar made possible from scrap metal. "Both houses voted on October 14, Eisenhower's birthday. Although the House approves a government-backed bill for the base metal dollar, the Senate passed the bill as amended by Colorado Senator Peter Dominick, who called for it to be printed in 40% silver. Instrumental on the way of the Senate amendment is a letter from Mamie Eisenhower, recalling that her husband likes to give silver dollars as a keepsake, and has attempted to earn coins that were beaten in the year of his birth, 1890. Idaho Senator James McClure stated, "This is somehow under dignity a great president like General Eisenhower to withhold silver from coins. " On October 29, 1969, Texas Representative Robert R. Casey introduced a law to honor Eisenhower and the recent Apollo 11 Moon landing. This provision will be part of a legally enacted bill authorizing the Eisenhower dollar. Casey originally wanted the Apollo 11 mission theme, "We come in peace to all mankind," appearing on coins; when Mint told him that there was no room for the inscription, he decided to demand that the reverse design be a symbol of the theme.
In March 1970, two houses reached a compromise in which 150 million dollars would be struck in a 40% silver alloy for collectors and others. The outstanding dollar, however, will not have silver and will be hit in larger quantities. A total of 47.4 million troy ounces of silver are needed to hit the pieces of the collectors will come from a bullion already held by the government. The compromise was worked out by McClure and other members of the congressional Republic, with the help of Brooks, an Idahoan. McClure described the deal as "far less than the country deserves, but more than it looks." The reason for having a collector edition with silver is to avoid the hoarding that has driven Kennedy half a dollar from circulation.
Despite a compromise over the Senate in March 1970, it was blocked in the House by Patman Representative, who was determined to end silver in currency. The Senate passed the bill again in September, this time attaching it as a rider to a bank holding a company bill sought by Patman. The bill, which also includes provisions for removing silver from half a dollar and for transferring rare silver dollars to the GSA, has been approved by the conference committee and passed both houses. Nixon intends to let the bill be passed into law without his signature. When the attendants realized that when Congress had delayed, not signing the bill would pocket the veto, on December 31, 1970, Nixon hastened to sign it just minutes before the midnight deadline.
Design
For Mint Chief Engraver, Frank Gasparro, the chance to put Eisenhower on a coin is the fulfillment of an old dream. On June 19, 1945, Gasparro was one of more than 4 million people who gathered in New York to watch the parade celebrate Allied victories in Europe. Although Gasparro, then an assistant engraver at Mint, only glimpsed General Eisenhower, he stepped back from the crowd and drew the general's traits. The sketch serves as a design basis for the front. Gasparro consults with the widow of the late president, Mamie Eisenhower, about the design of both sides of the coin; former First Lady presented with galvano (metal model used in the process of coin design) by Brooks and Gasparro on January 1, 1971. Gasparro wrote in 1991 that he had six weeks to complete the work beginning in mid-November 1970, that his extensive research on hawk over the years is a great help in creating the opposite, and that his sketches are adopted without change. The main engraver is not given full freedom for design; he was ordered to have the front layout resembling parts of Washington.
Before the legislation was passed, Gasparro had prepared two returns, actually used, and vice versa with a more formal heraldic eagle, the numismatic historian and Q. coin dealer David Bowers found reminiscent of the coin patterns prepared in the 1870s. At the urging of Congress, the main engraver created a design to commemorate the lunar Apollo 11 landing, based on mission patches contained by astronauts Michael Collins and others. Bowers considered the lunar landing option "genius," allowing the dollar, which would be little used in trade, became Eisenhower's second warning and Moon missions. The opposite depicts an eagle (representing a lunar lander,
The use of the Collins mission patch design was initially opposed by some government officials due to the malignant eagle's expression; The initial concept of Gasparro fulfilled the same objection. Director Mint recalled that Gasparro had gone to the Philadelphia Zoo to see the eagle, and upon his return had prepared a design that he felt emphasized the nature of the predator of the eagle. Brooks told Gasparro that the eagle was "too fierce, too warlike, a bit too aggressive" and asked that the phrase be made more gracious. Gasparro, reportedly unhappy about having to change the eagle, described the latest version as "looking for fun." The State Department is also concerned that the eagle's expression might be offensive, and seek a neutral face. The distant earth can be seen on the birds, and there are 13 stars to honor the original country.
Bowers considers the Eisenhower statue "well modeled" by Gasparro, and notes that the fact that the eagle on the contrary has only the olive branch, not the token of war, "means that the public will love the design." Nevertheless, he notes that the expression Eisenhower's hard was widely criticized as not typical of a man famous for his generosity. Numismatic writer David Lange argues that "the Eisenhower dollar is one of the poorest products that comes from the US Mint." Lange writes that, although Gasparro had designed only one side of the coin for a half-dollar Kennedy and Lincoln Memorial instead for a penny, "the dollar Eisenhower is his own design and should serve as a display for his talent.Unfortunately, it is an unremarkable design that reveals his usually unnatural from Ike's hair and eagle feathers. "Some collectors complained after the release that Earth was not fully shown, not realizing that Gasparro carefully followed the mission badge. The main engraver responds by clarifying the design.
Release
Two prototype dollars were struck at Philadelphia Mint on January 25, 1971; they are then destroyed. However, collectors have found that at least two 1971-S coins have been certified as prototypes. Striking large pieces of hard copper-nickel proved damaging Mint molds, and Gasparro repeatedly used Janvier reducing lathes to lower aid for use on circulation strikes and unreleased silver coins. The main sculptor transforms the resulting master dead directly to restore at least some of the missing details when the relief is lowered. Proof of a beaten coin in San Francisco, however, remains a relief. This means that in 1971 and for 1972 (until better quality steel was used in the dies), non-circulated attacks had lower reliefs, less detailed surfaces, than proof coins. The proof coins were beaten slowly, and usually several times, to bring up the full details. Eisenhower's striking dollar for circulation begins in Denver on February 3, apparently without ceremony; printing in Philadelphia also began at the beginning of the year, although Bowers, in its comprehensive encyclopedia on silver coins and dollar coins, did not record any specific dates. The first Eisenhower money in 40% silver, with an unreleased finish, was beaten at the San Francisco Assay Office (today's San Francisco Mint) on March 31, 1971; Brooks officially operates the printing machines. The first coins appear for presentation to Mamie Eisenhower; the second to David Eisenhower (grandson of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower) and the third from David Eisenhower's father-in-law, President of Nixon.
On January 29, 1971, Mint announced a price for a 40% silver piece to be beaten in San Francisco: $ 3 for non-circulated specimens and $ 10 for mirror-coated items, with orders to be taken by mail starting July 1 , with a limit of five each per customer. A public order form is sent to 44,000 post offices and 33,000 banks, with instructions not to submit it until June 18. Mint returns multiple orders because they were sent too early. The Mint set of outstanding coins for 1971 did not include the Eisenhower dollar.
The first proof of the strike, in San Francisco, took place in July. The pieces of evidence were sold in a plastic stand in a brown box with a golden eagle seal; the unassembled silver piece is wrapped in pliofilm inside a blue envelope. It's nicknamed "Ikes chocolate" and "blue Ikes" and is still known by those terms. On July 27, 1971, President Nixon presented the first piece to be attacked to Mamie Eisenhower at a White House ceremony. Sales of 40% silver pieces ends on October 8; the first proof coins were sent to the collector on October 14th, the anniversary of President Eisenhower.
The Eisenhower dollar circulation version, the largest wrapped coin Mint ever attempted, was released through the bank on November 1, 1971. Many were acquired by collectors; there is sufficient demand that many banks impose a limit of one coin per customer. The clothed pieces were struck from the strip of coins purchased by Mint from the contractor. Many are not beaten well, causing the collector to search through the roll to look for better specimens. An oil film is found on a large number of specimens; this is removed by the collector.
From the beginning, coins failed to circulate. In 1976, a Treasury study conducted jointly with private sector companies found that the Eisenhower dollar had an almost 100 percent erosion rate; almost always, coins were used in only one transaction, and then stopped circulating (by comparison, the attrition level of the quarter close to zero). This is because of the large size of the coin, its weight, and the lack of potential use for it. Even so, it succeeded in replacing the personal token at the Nevada casino. According to numismatics, Randy Camper, about 70% of Eisenhower's money is spent in casinos. Although the vending machine industry lobbied for the Eisenhower dollar, they changed several machines to take part. Lange recalled, "The fact is these coins never circulate outside the casino and the area nearby, and I do not recall ever seeing a vending machine that receives it."
Production

The Mint struck over Eisenhower's 125 million dollars in 1971, more than doubling its biggest annual production for dollar coins. Although the mosaic increase in 1972 to more than 170 million, and although what is
The 1972 silver piece again hit San Francisco. Sales fell drastically, to just under 2.2 million specimens in the form of uncirculated and 1.8 million evidences. The silver dollar parts of 1972-S Eisenhower are available for sale by postal order, with a booking period from 1 May to 15 July for proof coins and 1 August to 16 October for unbundled versions.
With a considerable supply of Eisenhower dollars, the Federal Reserve did not need to order in 1973, and no one was beaten for release. The 1973 and 1973-D were the first Eisenhower bucks to be attacked for inclusion in the mint set, and, in theory, only available that way. Many of 1973 and 1973-D are known under circulation conditions, leading to speculation that 230,798 pieces reportedly melted after the Mint failed to sell as many anticipated mint sets, which were actually released into the circulation. John Wexler, Bill Crawford, and Kevin Flynn, in their volume at Eisenhower dollars, deny this, citing a 1974 letter from Assistant Director Mint for Public Service Roy C. Cahoon, stating that all 1973 Eisenhower's money from the unsold mint set is melt. The 1973-S was beaten for inclusion in a base-metal proof set, as well as for the usual "Ikes blue" and "Ikes chocolate". Sales of the silver section were cut to a total of just under 2.9 million. The coins were beaten again for distribution in 1974, included in the set of mints and sets of evidence, and are available in evidence and silver suits that are not circulated from San Francisco. Congress ordered that some money from the sale of 1974-S silver pieces be used to support Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, New York. The coin collectors felt that this was a bad precedent, but about $ 9 million was paid to the campus between 1974 and 1978; however, regardless of the money inflow, the college closed its doors in 1982.
Bicentennial Problems (1975-1976)
The United States had issued commemorative coins between 1892 and 1954, as a means of raising funds for organizations deemed worthy of federal support. The sponsoring organization will be designated in the competent laws, and allowed to buy the matter at face value, sell it to the public at a premium price, and pocket the difference. Problems with issues, including mismanagement of distribution and complaints that public coins should not be used for personal gain, resulted in the Ministry of Finance's opposition to such issues, and no one was beaten after 1954.
The American Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission (ARBC) was founded by Congress in 1966 as the watchdog for the 1976 anniversary of American independence ("Bicentennial"). In 1970, the coin and medal advisory committee recommended a special half-dollar issuance, and then the committee sought redesign while the American coins are in circulation. Brooks and Mint initially opposed the law to influence this proposal, but eventually Brooks backed the legislation to redesign quarterly, half dollar and dollar quarterback reversals, and to issue a special collector set in silver outfits. The legislation for ratification was signed by President Nixon on October 18, 1973. Under the terms of this law, coins of this denomination were printed for delivery after July 4, 1975 and before December 31, 1976 would bear a special reversal, and also dated 1776 -1976. A total of 15 million sets (45 million) coins in all will be beaten with silver decoration for sale to the public at a premium price.
The reverse design for the three Bicentennial coins is determined by the design competition open to the public. The competition closed in January 1974, and in March, the design submitted by 22-year-old art student Dennis R. Williams was chosen for the dollar. Williams, the youngest person who was designing US coins, had sent a design depicting the Liberty Bell superimposed on the Moon. Gasparro slightly modifies the design, simplifies the features seen on the lunar surface, and changes letters and bells. Williams and other denominational designers operated a battering machine to hit the first coin on 12 August 1974; a set of prototypes was then given to the new president, Gerald Ford. Williams's design was favored by the public but drew criticism in the numismatic community because Liberty Bell had previously been used on coins (for example, at half-dollar Franklin). Fearing that a low 1975 slice would be stockpiled, Mint obtained a law in December 1974 allowing it to continue to unite pieces dating from 1974 until it began to become a coin of Bicentennial pieces.
The Bicentennial Dollar is the first of three denominations to be distributed to the public; was created early in February 1975. The silver piece was struck in San Francisco starting on April 23, 1975. The mint found that the copper nickel dollar is strikingly unclear, the problem not being seen with silver pieces. Brooks stopped production to allow Gasparro to modify dies; the most obvious change is that the revised problem, or the known Type II, has a narrower and sharper letter on the back. All silver pieces (attacking only in San Francisco) are Type I; the third mint hit the Type I and Type II nickel chunks. All dollars entered in 1975 sets of evidence are Type I; all included in the 1976 evidence set is Type II. The first Bicentennial Dollar was released to the circulation on October 13, 1975. Over 220 million were beaten. Bicentennial design was not used after 1976; Bicentennial coated silver coin sets were sold by Mint until the sale finally closed in late 1986.
One proof of a Bicentennial coin in silver clothing and has no mint mark, similar to the dollar in a set of prototypes given to President Ford, is known. This work is supposedly derived from the cashier drawer in Woodward & amp; Lothrop department store in Washington, DC Thomas K. DeLorey, then a reporter for Coin World, spoke to the inventor and was suspicious of his story, thinking it was more likely the coin was secretly obtained from the government. He refused to question the origin, for fear it might be confiscated and lost to the numismatic community. The piece brought nearly $ 30,000 by personal sales in 1987.
Last year and replacement (1977-1978)
In 1975, the Treasury was concerned about draining resources from a dollar strike, which was not circulating. It involves private companies to study the six current denominations of the US currency, and make recommendations. The company concluded in its report that the Eisenhower dollar is too big and heavy to circulate effectively, but if its diameter is reduced by about a third, and its weight by two-thirds, it may be used. The report found that "the Eisenhower dollar has not been widely accepted by the public due to its size and weight". In January 1977, shortly before leaving office, Ford's Finance Minister William E. Simon proposed the removal of cents and a half dollars, and a reduction in the dollar's size. According to Bowers, the Treasury believes that a coin of Eisenhower dollars will not be circulated in the United States.
Mint hit the pattern pieces with smaller sizes, with different shapes and compositions. The 11-sided coins are considered, which will set it apart from the quarter, but the pattern will not work in the vending machine. Exotic metals such as titanium are considered before Mint decides on the composition of standard clothing. Gasparro is prepared, for circulating pieces, a design that shows Liberty with flowing hair, similar to the early American coins.
When the Eisenhower dollar waits for its destruction, about 50 million per year is shocked, using the eagle design for the reverse. In the second year, the majority created was in Denver. No editions of silver collectors are published; Ikes blue and brown ends with 1974.
The new Finance Minister, Michael Blumenthal, supported Gasparro's design in testimony before the Congress; Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire called Blumenthal's position a "cop-out". Proxmire refused to introduce the bill, which would leave the design options up to Blumenthal or his successor, instead of introducing its own laws to commemorate the early women's rights leader Susan B. Anthony. Many in the new Congress and in the Carter Administration are socially progressive, and support the female lib. Ohio Representative Mary Rose Oakar also introduced a law for Susan B. Anthony's dollars in October 1978; it continued quickly through Congress and was signed by President Jimmy Carter. Gasparro was given photographs of Anthony and was told to reproduce his appearance exactly on the coin. Anthony's hard expression caused some to call it the "Susan B. Agony" dollar. Eisenhower dollar inversion is used for Anthony dollars. Convinced that the public would hoard new pieces, the Mint Bureau generated half a billion before its official release to the public on July 2, 1979. No need to worry; the public quickly rejected the new coin for being too close in size and weight to a quarter of a dollar, and production for circulation stopped after 1980. Mint director Stella Hackel Sims stated, "people are accustomed to the Eisenhower dollar, but in time they will become accustomed with Susan ". Attempts were made to provide a smaller new dollar as a change in postal transactions, and to force its use by US military personnel in Europe; both failed.
Collecting
Collected by date and mint marks, no Eisenhower dollars are rare, and a complete set can be obtained without difficulty. However, many were hit, without full details, especially in 1971 and 1972, and most of the pieces got nicks, scratches or "bag marks" of contact with each other soon after the attack. Although low level silver coins can be melted, this is not practical for the Eisenhower dollar because of the lack of precious metal content, and dealers often try to get whatever premium they can at face value. Completing a set of highest-grade specimens may be difficult and expensive, especially for 1971 and 1972 from Philadelphia or Denver, which are not sold in mint units, and thus only come to collectors through banks. A 1973-D piece, tied with ten other specimens for the best known of date and mint marks in a near-pure MS-67 condition sold in June 2013 for $ 12,925. According to numismatic writer Steve Reach, "as more and more people are handing out modern-day coins such as Eisenhower dollars for third-party certification, the true scarcity of many of the top-grade issues becomes clear."
Some 1971-D pieces show various where (among some differences) eagles do not have an eyebrow line, this has been dubbed by the Eisenhower dollar specialist "Friendly Eagle Pattern". The 1972 dollar hit in Philadelphia was split into three varieties, which were made when Gasparro adjusted the design to better utilize steel used in Mint molds. The mid-year change in design was announced by Brooks at the 1972 American Numismatic Association convention in New Orleans, although he did not state exactly what was being changed. All three varieties can be distinguished by examining the depiction of the Earth in reverse. Type I dollar shows a rather flat Earth, Florida pointing to the southeast, with islands mostly to the southeast of the tip of the peninsula. Earth round and Florida pointing south in Type II, with one big island to the southeast. Type III is similar to Type II, except that there are two islands directly to the south of the peninsula. Type II comes from an inverted dead, used in March 1972, and erroneously placed in service in Philadelphia - it is identical to and should be used for silver proof strikes in San Francisco. Type III was placed in service, replacing Type I, in September 1972. Type I was most common; Design Type III was used in 1973 and thereafter. The Type 1972 Type II is expensive in the upper class, such as the Type I 1776-1976 from Philadelphia, which is only available in the mint set.
Several pieces of 1971-S (and some unpublished 1971-S) evidence have serifs at the foot of the "R" in the missing "LIBERTY"; this is dubbed the "foot peg" variety. The serifs were missing on all 1972-S, both uncirculated and proof. After Mint obtains better steel for dies, serif returns for all remaining non-Bicentennial currencies, of all candies, even though R's legs are shortened, and also for Type II Bicentennial (Type I does not have serifs on R). Gasparro often tries to correct Eisenhower's head detail during coinage, and since R is the closest letter to him, this change is most likely done in an attempt to increase metal flow when the coins are struck.
In 1974 and again in 1977, the Denver Mint struck a small number of pieces of silver planchets, or empty. Both times, these are from planchets that have been shipped from the San Francisco Assay Office to Denver. The first in 1974 was found independently by two Las Vegas blackjack dealers. The 1974 planchets were originally intended to be used for "brown Ike" evidence of strikes; Mint's policy then is that rejected planchets of silver proof to be used for "blue Ikes" which are not circulated, but these are placed in trash bins for rejected copper-nickel planchets, intended to be sent to be created for circulation in Denver. The 1977 pieces produced from the pieces were denied for the use of the Bicentennial silver proof, which was again placed on the wrong tray (they should have been melted, because Mint is no longer conspicuously silver the uncirculated Eisenhower dollar). Between 10 and 20 each date is known. Wexler, Crawford, and Flynn report a 1776-1976-D dollar that is even rarer in silver, but states that nothing is offered on the auction or submitted to the main coinage services.
Bowers notes that the Morgan dollar (hit between 1878 and 1921) was not much collected at the time, only became very popular then, and showed that one day, Eisenhower's dollar turn would come. Numismatic Charles Morgan says about the Eisenhower dollar in 2012,
