Recently a small hoard of San Francisco major mint errors in proof and mint state were discovered. Included were these (3) unique Silver Eisenhower Dollar blanks with notations by the Mint. This is exciting because it is amazing that new discoveries surface and are authenticated and become available for coin collectors to enjoy owning a part of history.

Ike Dollars struck in 40% Silver were issued from 1971 to 1976. This is one of the most popular U.S. Coins collected. All 40% Silver Ike Dollars were struck, sold and shipped in official U.S. Mint sealed packaging. NGC authenticated and encapsulated these 3 blank planchets, and noted on the insert that these were from the 'San Francisco Hoard.'
