1978-S Eisenhower Dollar – PCGS PR66 Deep Cameo | Final-Year Proof Issue
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
The 1978-S Eisenhower Dollar represents the final year of the Eisenhower dollar series, making it a key modern collectible for U.S. coin enthusiasts. Struck at the San Francisco Mint as a proof issue, this coin was specially produced for collectors using polished dies and planchets, resulting in exceptional detail and mirror-like fields.
Graded PR66 Deep Cameo (DCAM) by PCGS, this example displays strong contrast between frosted design elements and deeply mirrored backgrounds. The Deep Cameo designation highlights the coin’s eye-catching visual appeal, with crisp devices and impressive reflectivity that collectors highly value.
Featuring President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and the iconic Apollo 11 mission insignia on the reverse, this coin celebrates both American leadership and space exploration. As the last issue in the Eisenhower series before the introduction of the Susan B. Anthony dollar in 1979, the 1978-S proof holds lasting significance.
