Extremely rare. This variety has a Type 1 reverse with a misshapen Earth, raised islands off the tip of Florida, and jagged crater lines. On very few Proofs (silver) of 1971-S, the Type 1 reverse artwork intended for the 40% silver Uncirculated coinage was used. Notably, the islands are raised and well formed, not incuse as on the intended Type 2 reverse.

Obverse Description

Bold portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower, facing left, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST in front of the President's neck. The word LIBERTY is centered on the top periphery and the date at the bottom. Mint mark, if any, is positioned just below the bust.

Reverse Description

A flying eagle, clutching olive branches, appears to be landing on the cratered moon, with the earth seen in the background. 13 stars surround the design with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR framing the periphery.
