Notes: The numbers and values above are for the S (San Francisco) minted 1971 Ike Dollars. If you look at the mintage numbers you can see only 6.8 million of these were issued. Compare that number to the 68 million issued in Denver that year and you can see how rare the S minted Eisenhower dollars are. This is because congress only agreed to issue limited 40% silver dollars and these were to be included in collector sets sold by the mint.

How much is a 1971 S Silver Dollar (40% Silver) worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $7.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $69 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1971, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
