However, this decade saw a rise in the price of silver, leading many people to hoard the coin due to its precious metal content.This caused a shortage in the Western states they circulated the most. In view of that, Congress wanted new coins to be minted. At the time, Mint Director Mary Brooks intended to revitalize the dollar coin with a new design.The events surrounding the discussions in Congress about the new coin took place around the same time as the passing of President Eisenhower, as well as the Apollo 11 mission landing on the Moon's surface. As a consequence, Congress saw the opportunity to honor both in the coin's design.After over thirty years of no dollar coins produced, the first Eisenhower Dollars struck brought a new alloy to the denomination. With silver prices on the rise, coins struck by the United States Mint started to have a copper-nickel clad composition.The copper-nickel clad business strikes were produced in both the Denver and the Philadelphia Mint.Nonetheless, the new decision didn't cease the use of silver in U.S coins altogether. The San Francisco Mint was responsible for producing 90% silver varieties of the clad dollars in both uncirculated and proof finishes for coin collectors in 1971.The pieces with more silver content sold well, but the overall opinion on the Eisenhower dollars was unpopular. The copper-nickel coins did not circulate well, and got limited to casinos and eventually collectors.The prices and auction values displayed below are from the last 10 years, from 2012 up until 2023.
