OwnerFor sale is a gorgeous pair of the 1973-S Eisenhower GSA Proof & Mint State Silver Dollars in their original government packaging. The Eisenhower Dollar, also known as “Ike Dollars,” were minted between 1971 & 1978 and was the first US silver dollar minted since 1935! The GSA Dollar (also known as the “Brown Ikes”) was a program where the General Services Administration from the government instructed the US Mint to place the coins in special promotional packaging to sell the coins as collector’s items. This coin is still in the original GSA Mint packaging, which is the brown presentation box with a simulated wood grain finish–total 70’s throwback décor! And what’s best is the 1973-S proof is the rarest and most valuable of the entire Ike series! That’s because they minted just over a low one million coins.
The Mint State Ike Dollar, also known as the “Blue Ikes” because they came packaged in a fancy blue envelope, and in the plastic cells next to the coin is a blue plastic disc from the Mint. These coins were also only available by the Mint between ’71 and ’74. The coin is in the original Mint packaging, including the envelope and the informational card insert from the Mint. The coin is sealed in the plastic cells right from the Mint. Both coins are 40% silver.
As you can see from the pics both coins are in awesome shape. They have the same gorgeous mint luster as if it was fresh from the mint. The Proof coin has some ghost toning which is very common with proof coins from this era and can really only be seen under photography light. Otherwise they have no major blemishes, and even the original packaging is in great shape.
These are great collector’s coins that can be had at a very low price! Please feel free to email me with questions or interest. Thanks!
