1971-S Silver Eisenhower Dollar PR-70 PCGS

---

In 1971, the San Francisco mint produced a special silver version of the Eisenhower Dollar, marking a significant moment in mid-century American coinage. This particular specimen contains 0.3161 troy ounces of pure silver, minted with a fineness of 0.400 silver. Featuring the distinctive 'S' mint mark, it represents one of 4,265,234 such coins struck at the California facility that year. This piece is distinguished by its exceptional preservation, certified in perfect proof seventy deep cameo (PR-70 DCAM) condition. This grade indicates a flawless strike with intense contrast between the frosted raised details and the highly reflective, mirror-like background fields. The coin's design features bold inscriptions that reflect national identity and values. The reverse displays the phrases 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'E-PLURIBUS UNUM', alongside the denomination of 'ONE DOLLAR', creating a powerful visual statement on this substantial silver coin.
