Circulated coins that show signs of wear and use are worth a few dollars less.

Silver 'S' mint dollars are worth more due to the precious metal content - based on the current price of silver ($19 per ounce), 1973-S silver dollars are worth about $12 in mint condition. The 1973 dollars produced for general circulation are still relatively common today, and are worth little more than $3-4 in mint condition. However, the Mint did produce special 'S' mint (San Francisco mint) coins in a 40% silver alloy that were sold directly to collectors for a small premium. Mint had stopped producing silver coins for general circulation in 1964, due to the rising price of silver, so circulating Eisenhower dollars were struck in a copper-nickel alloy. The obverse of the coin features a left-facing bust of Eisenhower, while the reverse side features a bald eagle landing on the moon (the insignia of the Apollo 11 mission).

First struck in 1971, Ike dollars were created to commemorate President Dwight Eisenhower and the national space program. Mint since the end of the Peace silver dollar series in 1935.
