The 1978-D Eisenhower Dollar is part of the final year of the Eisenhower Dollar series (1971–1978).
Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin remains popular among collectors, particularly in high grades.
Features a left-facing portrait of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, designed by Frank Gasparro. The inscriptions include "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and the date "1978."
Displays an American eagle landing on the moon, clutching an olive branch, inspired by the Apollo 11 mission insignia.
The Denver Mint struck a total of 33,012,890 Eisenhower Dollars in 1978. The "D" mintmark is located below Eisenhower’s neck.
The 1978-D Eisenhower Dollar is a clad coin with no silver, unlike the 40% silver Eisenhower Dollars issued in earlier years (1971–1976) for collectors.
Because of the coin’s large size and soft metal, many 1978-D Eisenhower Dollars have contact marks, making high-grade examples scarce and valuable.
The 1978-D Eisenhower Dollar marks the end of the Eisenhower series and remains a favorite among collectors.
