Based on numismatic records, the United States Mint did not produce an Eisenhower dollar in 1979. The Eisenhower dollar series was officially minted for circulation and collection from 1971 through 1978. The provided search results are consistent with this timeline, as one source specifically references the series's end date of 1978.
In 1979, the Eisenhower dollar was replaced by the smaller Susan B. Anthony dollar. Therefore, a genuine 1979 Eisenhower dollar does not exist and consequently has no monetary or collector value.
For context on the actual Eisenhower series, it is important to note the distinction in composition. The coins intended for general circulation were made of a copper-nickel clad composition and contain no silver. Collector versions, which bear an "S" mint mark for the San Francisco Mint, were struck in a 40% silver composition. However, production of all versions of this coin ceased in 1978.
