Some Eisenhower Dollars were struck in 40% silver to be sold to collectors. All of these coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint, with dates 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. These coins were either uncirculated or proof. Uncirculated coins came in cellophane with a blue plastic token in a blue envelope. Proof issues came in a proof set-like plastic case, contained in a brown "wood grain finish" box with a gold seal on the back. The uncirculated coins are referred to as 'Blue Ike's' and the proofs as 'Brown Ike's. From 1973 to 1977 are the only years that the coins were included in the standard proof and uncirculated coin sets sold from the Mint, but these coins are NOT 40% silver. Special Bicentennial coin sets did have 40% silver coins.
