American Statesmen: Eisenhower Dollars Basic Set, Proof (1971-1978)

About This Set: The vision common to each of these Eisenhower sets is to chronicle the final chapter of the American 'Large Dollar' tradition. This collection captures a bridge between two distinct eras: honoring a General-turned-President on the obverse while celebrating the dawn of the Space Age on the reverse. As the last circulating-sized dollar coin, the 'Ike' represents the conclusion of a physical scale in American currency dating back to the 1790s.

This subset focuses on the Eisenhower proof issues produced at the San Francisco Mint
