Up for bid is a rare 1973 Eisenhower Dollar graded MS66+ by ICG. Population report is currently 73 coins total at this grade, thus the increased price for a 1973 minted in Philadelphia. Greysheet value for MS66 is currently $495. MS67 is $4400. I picked this coin up for a deal and I'm passing the savings on to you. I only have 2 MS66+, but please check out my other auctions as I have MS66 and MS67. HISTORY: For the 1973 issue, the United States Mint decided to forego striking additional dollar coins for circulation and instead produced two million from each mint for the purpose of inclusion in the annual Mint Set. The Mint reported a total production run of two million 1973 Mint Sets. Ultimately, 1,769,258 sets were sold and the remaining 230,742 1973 (P) and D-mint Ike Dollars were destroyed. This has long been the published accounting for what happened to the remainder. However, an unconfirmed sighting of an open mint bag of 1973 Eisenhower Dollars at a Florida coin shop was reported several years ago by Ike Group member Brian Vaile. If true, that would mean at least some small portion of the unpackaged mintage was released into circulation.
