The value of a 1977 Eisenhower dollar can vary depending on its condition and whether it’s a circulated or uncirculated coin.
- Circulated Condition: 1977 Eisenhower dollars in circulated condition generally have a value between $1.05 and $1.50, according to the [NGC Price Guide].
- Uncirculated/Pristine Condition: However, [NGC] indicates that 1977 D Silver Dollars in pristine, uncirculated condition can sell for as much as $1900 on the open market. Similarly, other listings on platforms like eBay show 1977 Eisenhower dollars, particularly those with a Denver mint mark, listed for around $1400-$1900.
In short, while a circulated 1977 Eisenhower dollar may only be worth slightly above face value, an uncirculated coin in excellent condition could be considerably more valuable. It’s always best to have a coin evaluated by a professional to determine its exact worth.
