How to Tell if Your Eisenhower Dollar Coin is Silver or Not

- In this video I explain How to Tell if Your Eisenhower Dollar is Silver or Not. An Eisenhower Dollar Silver Coin has special characteristics and I show you what they are. This Eisenhower silver vs. clad video explains in detail the difference between a silver Eisenhower Dollar and a clad or non-silver Eisenhower Dollar. The Eisenhower Dollars were minted between 1971 and 1978. My Eisenhower dollar collection consists of a clad Eisenhower Dollar or an "Ike" dollar, an uncirculated Eisenhower silver Dollar or a "Blue Ike", and a proof Eisenhower silver dollars or a "Brown Ike". The blue and the brown Ike dollars are made out of silver. The years that Eisenhower dollars were made out of silver are 1971, 1971, 1973, 1974, and 1976. The best way to tell if you Eisenhower Dollar Coin is silver or not is to look at the mintmark. I do not talk about Eisenhower dollar errors, but they can be worth a lot of money. I only talk about common Eisenhower dollars and the silver Eisenhower dollars.

In the video I did forget to mention that there are a few examples of S mint mark Ike dollars which are clad so I suggest looking at the edge of the coin to be 100% certain it is silver 👍🏽🔥🐉
Why did they do this? This is what makes it the most confusing … for example, there’s a 1974-S that’s 40% silver, but also a 1974-S that’s Clad.
Is there any way to tell them apart by looking at the front/back surface instead of the edges?
@@TyTanicCoins the silver weighs more
@@TyTanicCoins The mint still makes silver and clad proof coins that when broken out of their cases, you have to check the edge (or weight it) to know the different. You could probably also ping test them.
Glad you pointed this out! I was seething! The none silver "S" is why I just leave these alone. To me I just dont want any in my stack. Someday i might drop dead and my kids, they have no idea on any of this, no need to torture them while they try to sell or divide my stack.
Wish I saw your vid before getting one from a bank the d and edges were off
FUN FACT: (1) silver Ike has 9.85g of silver … which is more than (2) 90% silver quarters combined (4.6 x 2 = 9.2g total silver combined).
Nice info. Thanks for sharing and take care. ✌️
Well done video SD! Eisenhowers always confused me as to the materials they used year to year. I'm more of a 90% fan anyway. :-)
SD, you are sooooo cool to give us this great information!!! Thank you & please continue!!!
Great info!
All the clad IKE proofs have the S mint mark and were made in San Francisco.
As an Englishman, it's interesting to learn about the 'Ike' dollar. To me he was a man of top calibre like Lincoln. I have a genuine badge of the Supreme Headquarters of Allied Powers in Europe made by Drago, Paris. The emblem on the green enamel shield shape badge was designed by Ike and S.H.A.P.E. is still in existence today. For me the badge is priceless. It's a great pity Ike isn't alive today. There would be a simple peaceful solution to the Ukraine crisis. Thanks for the video.
My Mom bought me that same proof Ike like 10 years ago😂, neat coin.
I love the Eagle, VERY elegant. Is clad cupronickel, a mixture of copper and nickel?
I have two of these 1976 s proof. And i was looking at them the other day and noticed one has a mint mark in a slightly different spot than the other. And they are both pretty much perfect condition.
But one has almost solid silver edge but a hint of copper is showing but not like a Consistent copper ring like a usual clad would.
You think i should send them to be graded?
Glad you tossed in the dates that were silver also thats pretty important. The us proof set that they came in from 1971 to 78 that had all the coins also have the s mint mark and are not silver.
Dang. This told me my baggie of Ike’s, Kennedy’s, and Anthony’s, aren’t silver 😅
I was hoping you were going to show the bicentennial coin set from the mint
Thanks👍, I always wanted to know more about these puppies (l learned something new today!!!) OHHHH.....(Now my brain hurts😵😖🤕!!!) 😝
you are very welcome! 🔥🐉
What are the brown ikes going for in 2022?$
Great video brother thanks for the info
I have a 1971 S Eisenhower silver dollar, 1972, 1973, and some other Eisenhower dollars with the S mint mark but they aren’t silver.are they worth anything?
around here mid west the regular Eisenhower's are selling for $1.50- $4.
I'm a 1971 bday. the silver ones are going for about $12 each on ebay.
Just for the record, all the silver Ike dollars were S mint marked, but not all the S mint marked Ike Dollars contain silver. In certain years they did produce some clad Ike dollars at the San Francisco mint along side the silver versions.
true in 1977 and 1978 the S mint mark was not silver… I did say those years were not silver and the 1976 bicentennials there were some S mint marks that were not silver but for the most part they are haha
I’m shocked that these coins, being the size that they are, are only 40% silver.
Awesome great info brotha.. thanks for sharing...
My favorite coin. Good video. Always have a clad one with me fun to flip.
This video was very educational. I did not know much about Ike dollars, all I knew was that the 40% silver coins came in blue and brown packaging. Now, I know that silver Ikes have the S mint mark, were minted in certain years, and the edge will be more shiny that marked with a reddish tinge. Thanks, Silver Dragons.
Love Ike’s
So the paperwork that you flashed briefly from the blue envelope, says its 40% silver.
Is that right?
Are any Ikes 90% silver?
Like pre 1965?
(Did they make Ikes before 1965?)
Just curious if the Kenedy half dollars would have the s mint mark also to tell if they are silver?
You can tell kennedys by their year
I have only one silver Ike Dollar rest are not. It still cool to collect most them ni longer in circulation
Keep in mind folks that not all S Mint IKES contain silver. The S Mint Bicentennial IKESs are beautiful with shiny fine luster but don't necessarily have silver. Check the rim and check the weight to be sure (24.57 gms).
I just found a 1971-D Eisenhower $1 stamped on a Silver Planchet.. Weighs 24+ grams.
Any idea I got alot 1 dollar coins from a customer she told me it was from her parents for me look like a collection but I have no idea is worth something
How much silver does a 1971 or 1972-s proof Ike dollar have in it, compared to the regular Ike dollar with an s mint mark?
If it is a silver Ike the metal content is the same in proof or regular version. Do the side test as not all S-Ikes are 40% silver.
Thank u
I literally have a Home Depot bucket full of Ike dollars. I got most for face value and the ones I paid for had a 10 cents premium. Should I keep or get rid of them? There are probably over two thousand of them.
Save some! I would buy some of yours lol
I have a bunch of 76 s marks that have no silver. I thought they did was a lessoned learned was what I thought was my first silver purchase to start stacking now I know
Eisenhower was also president when the US first got involved in Vietnam taking over from the French in 1954 when they had just been defeated in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, by Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh.
Excellent video! 👍🏽🤩⭐️
Awesome video, thanks, hey SD, today I got my 2nd silver round, the 2021 knights of the past. It's a very beautiful coin.
Thanks for sharing this information Colorado Silverback777 Stay Healthy keep Stacking.
Copper/nickel Ike’s are lighter than Silver Ike‘s(the weight)!
Mine has an e on the back does that mean something
In 1975/1976 They Made Both Clad And Silver Versions !!!!
But with Nickel being worth as much as it is right now, (March 2022), wouldn’t the Nickel add value to the clads?
Yes, but not significantly to a $1 face value coin. Now the 5 cent nickel, that does benefit because it is worth almost double face value ;)
The none silver "S" is why I just leave these alone. To me I just dont want any in my stack. Someday i might drop dead and my kids, they have no idea on any of this, no need to torture them while they try to sell or divide my stack.
I bought a bunch. Then come to find out clad garbage has S mint mark on some years. And some years have no silver. PAIN in the AS*😂
What if I have a 1776,1976 S mint, bicentennial, Eisenhower but not silver
I like Ike's, I have a bunch of them only a handful of silver Ike's a few proofs and a whole book of regular business strikes. I gave my browns away as gifts... Might regret that later.
Would like to send pictures of coin but don’t know how?
I have a few, I just checked and all have the S mint mark! 🙂
Silver Dragons my LCS won't even take my U.S. Mint on certain coins before 1964 especially the nickels and pennies. I don't know if I should break the set. My boys and wife are not interested in it.
A good thing to remember, silver Ike's are all S mint marked but not all S mint marked Ike's are silver. That's a saying I heard a long time ago. Plus all you have to do is look at the edge, its as simple as that man.

Okay, an Eisenhower 1971 with no mint mark, so do you know what it's worth ?
$1
Well the only way I know my '71 proof Ike dollar is 40% silver is it's graded PCGS PR69 so I'll have to take their word for it.
I've been stacking the Ike dollars lately. A good option for stacking silver dollars for spot or even below spot. Check the edges of the coin, do an ice cube test, do a sound test, and look for the S mintmark. Put one ice cube on top of the ike dollar and one ice cube on top of a copper-nickel quarter. If the coin is silver it will melt the ice faster than the nickel coin because silver is the most thermally conductive metal. Be careful because although all silver Eisenhowers do have the S mintmark, not all Eisenhowers with the S mintmark are silver. If the coin comes in the original envelope then you know for sure that it's silver. Sometimes I keep them in the original envelope sometimes I like to break them out and hold them.
yeah the ice cube is a great test for sure! 🔥🐉
The bicentennial with two dates were for 1975 and 1976. There is no 1975 date only Ike dollar. Also the 1776-1976 bicentennial did have type 1 and 2
What does that mean??
Two different reverse sides on the 76 coin (made in 75 & 76 but none carry the 75 date, only 76).
Ike dollars are cool regardless
Mine has the blue chip
I have 1971 s
If it's clad it's 20% silver on the outer layers, S for the san Fransisco mint only made so many at 40% silver, none are 100% silver
Eisenhower was president also when the US developed the hydrogen bomb, 100 times more powerful than the atomic bomb thrown on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. He was instrumental in passing legislation disegregating schools in Brown v. The Board of Education, a landmark US Supreme Court case.
In my opinion in the way the world is today any silver stacker should invest in a precious metal detector instrument which is going to run you a grand but with the way the world is if you're a true silver stacker you'll be able to make sure nothing fake comes into your stack. I had a horrible year because I'm a beginner in stacking and I'm talking a lot of noise right now the fact that I don't even have one of those machines which I'm going to invest in but this is my opinion you got to be aware cuz internet scammers are getting smarter and smarter every day.

Why isn't it worth 40% of spot?
Because the country does not weigh one ounce troy.
1971s to 1974s are 40% silver and 1976s is 40% silver
I have alot 1 dolar coins
not all s mint mark ikes are silver
Easiest way: see edge
Its definitely not true that if there's an S mint mark, that its silver. So you could be fooled if you go by that way of thinking for sure.
I do have some Ike dollars but I doubt any of them are silver. I was left a couple of Ikes by my uncle from India. We don't see them in coin shops here in Canada. I don't think they are too popular as they are big and weighty coins.
Good point. 40% at that size.... more of a numismatic/ identifyable value than "silver stacker/ silver is silver" piece.
I do know a lot about Ike (Eisenhower). He was the US commander in chief of troops in Europe during WWII. He was also the 34th president of the US from 1953 to 1961. His administration was known for the admission of Hawaii as the 50th state into the Union, the Eisenhower Doctrine, that the US would provide help to any Middle Eastern country to ward off communism.
The fact that there are any 'silver dollars' made out of anything but silver is grotesque and indicative of a sick and dying society
All US coinage 1800 to 1964 had at least 5% non silver metals. US is the most beautiful, healthy, growing society since its inception. Best is yet to come. Join us, create the future, dont sit on the sidelines gripping with the losers listening to the devil wispering on your shoulder. All levels of govt need strong minded positive leadshership, NOW.
So why are people selling these for $1,200 and $1,300 on Ebay???? Are they trying to scam people??
I think there are some rare types worth more
