Up until 1971, the Mint made only Proof Sets and Mint Sets as special collectibles for sale to the public. With the introduction of the Eisenhower Dollar in 1971, the Mint offered 40% silver versions of the new Dollar in Uncirculated and Proof condition, but only from the San Francisco Mint. The Proof versions were sold in a hard plastic case inside of a brown slipcover box. The 40% alloy, the special case, and the opportunity to purchase s aingle Proof coin for the first time in more than a century proved a considerable draw, and collectors snapped up more than four million of these innovative coins.
The majority of the 1971-S Proof Silver "Ikes" remain in superb condition, however examples in the top grade of PR70DCAM are extremely rare relatiive to the total population.
Too bad I can only give 5 Stars! This guy,..his product,...an 'easy 7+'! I bought the Coins, at 1 in the morning. By 7 AM,...THE SAME DAY!,.. they were sent!...! Yes. Two days later,..in my hands. Packaged,..not only with care(!), but with love! 29(!),..individual stamps(!..!). All different,...funny, colourful,..happy. The Coins? First class. It's great giving 'hard earned money', to someone so deserving. All I can say is: "Thank you."

Delivery was average, not too fast but it definitely wasn't slow. Good reliable packaging. The product I received was exactly the one advertised. Original 1971 $1 Ike Silver Proof Deep Cameo in its original Wood Box packaging. Excellent condition. It seems like it's never been taken out of the box which gave me the confidence of its authenticity. I'm very content with my decision to buy.
