The one that is overlooked and under appreciated- one of the great Proof Rarities of the 20th Century
This is the 1971-s Type I Proof- not many exist - perhaps as many as 20 have been graded... probably less
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Picked these up last night for $7 each. More notable for the holder than the condition of the Ike's (also posted this picture in the @Lakesammman "Rare Plastic" thread):

I agree....and the one that is missing from my EISENHOWER DOLLARS COMPLETE VARIETY SET, CIRCULATION STRIKES AND PROOF (1971-1978) registry set. https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/dollars/eisenhower-dollars-specialty-sets/eisenhower-dollars-complete-variety-set-circulation-strikes-proof-1971-1978/publishedset/103788I would really love to obtain this coin. As you appropriately put it, "The one that is overlooked and under appreciated- one of the great Proof Rarities of the 20th Century".

One final comment on the 71-s type I Proof...
There is simply no excuse whatsoever that this significant coin is not in the Red Book.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Just to be different.
Here is a 1953 Eisenhower inaugural medal in silver. This marked the first year that an inaugural medal, in something other than bronze, was offered to the general public. The Republicans had not held the Whitehouse for 20 years, and this was a time for them to celebrate. The mintage in silver was 872 pieces. In later years, the silver inaugural medal mintages would be much higher

“Blue" Ike Dollars were struck in 40% silver at the San Francisco Mint and were sold to collectors in government sealed packages.
This one was struck 25% off-center.

An off-center silver Blue Ike? Sorry, but that’s an “inside job” if there ever was one. Getting a larger business strike dollar passed the quality control system is tough enough. Getting a collector coin that is specially packaged is fishier than the Boston Harbor.

Or that it could not have been released?

There is also 1 broadstruck known, and 1 double struck off center known.
Other than these 3, I have not seen any other major striking errors on silver Blue Ikes in the 45 years that I have been dealing in major mint errors.

Wow, just 3 and nothing out there like clovers or staples?
Could these be accidental given the small quantity and seemingly standard types of errors?

Major striking errors on PROOF Ike dollars, (double strikes and off centers) have sold in the $12,500 to $35,000 range, depending on eye appeal and whether silver or clad.
PROOF Ike off metals have sold in the $6,000 to $25,000. range.
The PROOF ‘clover’ Ike on 3 dimes sold for $105,000.00
These silver Blue Ike major striking errors are many times rarer than PROOF Ike mint errors!

Very nice medals @BillJones and @brokecollector!
Great history to know that the Republicans lost 5 elections in a row back then!

Would love to own a blue Ike Off Center
I am hopeful more will leak out.
In meantime, here's my best Ike Error still sealed in OGP

How did it get released?
The early 1970s were marked by “special error coins” getting out of the San Francisco Mint.

@Zoins - here is the answer to how these 3 Blue Ike mint errors got out.
Some SMS mint errors from 1965 thru 1967 got out of the Mint.
Some proof mint errors from 1971 thru 1978 got out of the Mint.
These 3 Blue Ike mint errors
( one broadstruck, one double struck off center, and this off center in this thread)
were not taking out of the Mint.The Blue Ikes from 1971 thru 1974 were sent in bags of 1,000 each, to a distribution center for packaging and shipping.
Obviously someone noticed these 3 mint errors in the bags in the distribution center.
That is why they are unique and unheard of!

It's by Medallic Art Co. If you're patient, you can get one for a very reasonable price. Check Ebay.

This explains, in part, the higher quality / less bag marked blue Ikes after 1971.

Thanks for the clarification.
Other than these 3 major striking errors on the 1971S dated blue Ikes, there are a few other minor striking errors known on 1971S and 1972S dated blue Ikes.
It’s amazing that this 25% off center, and the double struck off center were discovered.
That would also explain why these were found in the bags in 1971. Once they were shipped in tubes starting in 1972, nothing like these have been found.

They really sound quite rare! The proofs can be quite gorgeous, but it's amazing that there are so few of these blue Ike errors!

In Dick Johnson's MedaArtists.com databank, I could only find Juszko but he died in 1954:
