Well I say a ad on craigs list check it out it might surprize you http://maine.craigslist.org/clt/1496771604.html
Well look at the price and the link. I would like to know how to check what design coin I have? They have numbers for design in the 60s a higher 60 like 67 is worth a lot more right?

I came across this on here also
The only dollar coins made in 1971 were the following, the non silver circulation strike copper/nickel Eisenhower dollars. Ike on the obverse and an eagle on the moon reverse. These still show up today at banks and are worth a dollar. There were special made 40% silver uncirculated dollars from the mint that came in a blue envelope they have an S mint mark and the 40% Proof Ike’s that came in a brown box also S mint mark. if your coin has an S mint mark it is 40% silver if not then it is not silver. The silver Ike’s sell for around to . The mint mark if any is above the date. Hope this helps
One or the other is wrong… Silver Ikes sell for 5 to 6 but he is not talking about the different styles that are worth more.

First: The numbers you are referring to have to do with the condition of the coin, not the design.
MS (for Mint State) 70 is the so-called perfect coin – no blemishes or nicks visible under 10x magnification. MS-69 coins can have one or two tiny nicks, on down to MS-60, which is an uncirculated coin with quite a few dings and contact marks. That is why an MS-67 coin is worth more than an MS-60 coin.
The 1971 plain and D mint mark dollars are not worth much more than $1, as you have found. The mint mark is a small letter D or S beneath the truncation of Ike’s neck and above the 71 in the date. (Coins produced at Philadelphia mint have no mint mark). The S mint mark coins are 40% silver and contain .3162 troy ounces of silver. The uncirculated coins have a normal looking finish, and the proof coins have a highly polished, mirror like finish.
Added later:
The coin in your photo has been professionally graded MS-67 by a third party grading company. The company that graded the coin in your photo (NTC) is one I have never heard of. NGC, PCGS, and ANACS are the most widely recognized grading services, and I would not buy a coin graded by anyone else. For that reason, I would say that the price being asked is far too high.
