Description

1977-D Eisenhower Dollar, MS63
Struck on a 40% Silver Planchet
Transitional Alloy Error

1977-D $1 -- Struck on a 40% Silver Planchet -- MS63 NGC. Breen-5774. 24.9 gm. A clad Eisenhower dollar should weigh 22.7 gm. Walter Breen states in his 1988 Encyclopedia that about 15 pieces are known struck on planchets intended for 40% silver San Francisco Bicentennial Ike dollars. This is a lustrous and nicely struck mint error with peripheral straw-gold toning and a few minor obverse field grazes. The strike details are remarkably strong throughout, undoubtedly from being struck in silver, which is much softer than the usual nickel.
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 2/2014), lot 5287; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2017), lot 6370, where it brought $17,625.
