Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1973 Eisenhower Dollars. Circulation strikes in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are more valuable, with premiums for coins grading MS65 and higher. For proof coins, grades of PR67 and above command significant premiums.

Key factors affecting condition include:

1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full detail on high points (e.g., Eisenhower’s hair) are more desirable.
2. Luster: Coins with original mint luster are highly prized.
3. Contact marks: Fewer bag marks or contact marks increase value.
4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value for some collectors.

Several factors can influence the value of 1973 Eisenhower Dollars beyond mintage and condition:

1. Collector demand: As a series, Eisenhower Dollars have a dedicated following, which supports values.
2. Historical significance: The connection to the Apollo program adds interest.
3. Silver content: While regular issues are copper-nickel clad, some collectors seek out the 40% silver versions made for collectors (not produced in 1973 but in other years of the series).
4. Preservation: Many Eisenhower Dollars were poorly handled or stored, making well-preserved examples more valuable.
5. Set completion: Collectors assembling complete sets may pay premiums for high-grade examples to finish their collections.
