Quarter Dollar

This is a 1978 Eisenhower Dollar, the last year this iconic coin was minted (1971–1978). The front (obverse) features President Dwight D. Eisenhower, while the back (reverse) shows a majestic eagle 🦅 landing on the moon 🌕 with an olive branch – a tribute to the Apollo 11 mission 🚀.

💡 Why it’s special:
✅ Last year of the Eisenhower Dollar series
✅ Large-size U.S. dollar coin, no longer in circulation
✅ Collectible value in numismatic history

💰 Value:

Circulated condition: $1.25 – $3

Uncirculated (mint state): $15 – $30+

Rare mint errors or proof strikes: $100+ depending on rarity and demand

📸 The one in the picture has heavy wear, but it still carries over 45 years of American history. Some coins from this series in pristine condition have fetched hundreds of dollars at auctions! 🏆
