Answer July 13, 2009 The 1974 Eisenhower Dollar was minted at 3 US Mint facilities, Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The mintmark for this coin is located on the obverse [heads] side of the coin just above the date. The letter "D" indicates the coin was produced at the Denver mint, the letter "S" indicates the coin was produced at the San Francisco mint and if there is no letter at all then the coin was produced at the Philadelphia mint [indicated by the letter "P" in listings ,for example 1974-P] Common circulation issues are made of copper-nickel; they don't contain any silver. The Philadelphia and Denver mints produced the uncirculated copper/nickel clad coins [common coins]. The San Francisco mint produced the proof copper/nickel clad coins [collector coins] as well as uncirculated silver clad coin [collector coins] and the proof silver clad coin [also collector coins]. The values listed below are for uncirculated and proof coins as indicated. Circulated Coins $1.00 - $1.15 Uncirculated Coins Grade.................1974-P.............1974-D...............1974-S silver clad MS63....................$20...................$9........................$8 MS64....................$35...................$15.......................$10 MS65....................$85...................$52........................$15 MS66....................$1100...............$180.....................$30 Proof Coins Grade.....................1974-S copper/nickel clad..........1974-S silver PF63...........................$7...............................................$8 PF64...........................$8...............................................$9 PF65...........................$12.............................................$13 PF66...........................$15..............................................$15
If it is uncirculated and in mint condition, or a cased "Proof" coin, coin collectors or maybe a coin dealer will buy it.
None of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums. Current value for a Clad Proof is $6.90 a 40% Silver Proof is $7.20
The U.S. Mint does not assign grades to any coins it sells. But Proof and Uncirculated coins do have different grades.
The 1972-S Eisenhower dollars are all 40% silver clad coins, struck as proof and uncirculated. Both coins were sold separately from the Mint and not included in the 1972 Proof or Uncirculated Mint Sets. With silver at $31.98 per ounce as of today 10-11-11 the coin is worth about $10.00.
1976, Kennedy Bicentennial Half Dollar; with no mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with D mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with S mint mark, copper-nickel clad, proof-$1.75 with S mint mark, silver clad, uncirculated-$4.00, proof-$5.00There were so many hundreds of millions of these minted that if your coin has been in circulation, it has no added value and probably never will.
No. The US Mint in San Francisco has produced many coins for circulation since it opened in 1854. Prior to 1968 nearly all proof coins were made at the US Mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Beginning in 1968, all proof coins were produced at the US Mint in San Francisco although this mint continued to produce Lincoln Cents for circulation until 1974 and Jefferson nickels until 1971. In 1984 the US Mint at West Point, New York began minting proof coins as well. The Philadelphia Mint also produced proof $1 coins in 1999.
For 1971 & 1972 only, all S mint marked coins are 40% silver. From 1973 to 1976 the S mint marked coins in the standard proof sets are clad coins, the 40% silver Ike's were sold separately but they were included in the bicentennial 3-piece silver sets. No silver Ike's were struck in 1977 or 1978.
1976, Kennedy Bicentennial Half Dollar; with no mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with D mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with S mint mark, copper-nickel clad, proof-$1.75 with S mint mark, silver clad, uncirculated-$4.00, proof-$5.00There were so many hundreds of millions of these minted that if your coin has been in circulation, it has no added value and probably never will.

Only proof and special collectors coins from the mint have more than face value, it's just a big dollar coin
Solid silver? No. The silver clad Eisenhower dollars are all 40% silver. But for 1973 not all S mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The San Francisco Mint did strike copper-nickel proof coins that were included in the proof sets for 1973. The 40% silver coins were struck as proof & uncirculated but were sold separately, so 3 different S mintmarked coins were struck in 1973.
