The 1990~S Eisenhower Centennial 6~Coin Prestige Proof Set
These historic collectables were produced by the Department of the Treasury, United States Mint to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States and a 5 Star General. On the oberse, Dwight D. Eisenhower is portrayed in two profiles, as both a 5~Star General, and as President/Statesman, by designer John Mercanti. Never before in the history of United States coinage have two profiles of one person been overlapped on the face of a single coin. The reverse, by Marcel Jovine, depicts the Gettysburg National historic Site, home of Ike and Mamie.
Except for the Commemorative Dollar, all the coins were struck in Proof condition at the San Francisco Mint. They have been produced using specially prepared dies and blanks to assure the highest quality, brilliant luster and magnificent detail, and they all bear the "S" mintmark. The set contains both regular coinage: the Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar, and the commemorative silver dollar. The coins are encapsulated in a clear plastic two-sided personal display album that permit the coins to be visible from both obverse and reverse sides.

The inside covers are white silk with the front inside cover being embossed in silver with a heraldic eagle and the words United States Mint 1990 Prestige Set. A red, white and blue ribbon bisects the lower left corner of the front inside cover. The presentation case is protected by a green cardboard box labeled United States Mint 1990 Prestige Set. This original packaging and the Certificates of Authenticity are all in mint pristine condition. All the coins were struck at the San Francisco mint using specially prepared dies and blanks to produce magnificent detail, and they all bear the "S" mintmark.
