The 1976 Eisenhower dollar had a one-year reverse design. the liberty bell and an image of the moon in the background there are no bicentennial dollars with a date of 1975 the bicentennial dollars were also minted in the year 75, but all will have two dates on the obverse 1776-1976 the bicentennial The dollars They were struck in clad and silver composition, depending on the mint at which they were struck, collectors removed these coins from circulation in large quantities when they were first issued and, unfortunately, after 1982, many of the silver dollars were melted down, so the true coinages are really unknown today.

We will hardly see them in circulation, however, they are still legal tender. If you want to collect them or look for a

one, you can buy them on the secondary market at a premium or ask your bank if they have any return to basics. Some brief information about them. The 1976 bicentennial dollars were minted at all three mints. The mints of Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. Remember that the Philadelphia and Denver mints minted bicentennial dollar coins for everyday commercial transactions. These coins were still in circulation back then. They have no special finish, while the San Francisco Mint struck regular one dollar coins as well as proof coins struck for collectors.

Bicentennial dollar coins have two types or two varieties. The terms are actually interchangeable and can be distinguished by the thickness of the letters on the reverse. designed in low relief, bold, thicker lettering on the reverse and variety two is a sharp design. Delicate and thin letters on the reverse. You can see it in this image courtesy of pcgs. Now the 1976 type 1 is the rarest variety, even examples in ms65 are very difficult to find. find for the 1976 type one that the Philadelphia Mint struck that year a little over four million one dollar coins of the clad composition variety.

It is a very low mintage, they will not carry a mint mark p now about their values, as we mentioned, variety one is more desirable and sells for more in grade ms 66 plus, which is the highest grade recently attributed. This coin was sold at estate auctions for five thousand six hundred and forty dollars. This coin also has a cac sticker on the slab which always adds extra value to any coin. More information about CAC certification is linked at the end of this video. Half a degree means between degrees, so in this example it is better than a ms66 degree, but not as good as a ms67.

The Philadelphia Mint reached over 113 million bicentennial ikes in type 2. The 1976 type 2 dollar in the same grade ms 66 plus sells at heritage auctions for only $650 the highest grade for this coin is ms 67 and they sell on average for 2600. so type 1 is definitely the one that brings in the most money but type 2 is also expensive now, let's take a look at the Denver Mint. The Denver Mint accumulated more than 21 million variety one bicentennial ikes. They will carry a demit mark. The highest grade known so far is 67 plus, but it was never sold. It is now half a degree below this coin. grade ms 67 sold last year at stax bowers for nine thousand six hundred dollars what a lot of money can you imagine what the 67 plus would be the denver mint accumulated more than 82 million bicentennial ike with the reverse type 2 the highest grade for this type is also ms67 plus, but it was never sold, so pcgs estimates the value of the 1976 type 2 dike in ms 67 plus grade at 7500, it's a couple thousand dollars less than the value of a type 1, but It's still a lot of money, the San Francisco Mint, as we mentioned.

Clad and minted silver dollars will all have a mint mark and will sell for a lot of money as well. However, what we would like to bring to your attention is a slight difference in the types that you may see in them that not everyone may be aware of. Proof-coated types were struck with type 1 and type 2 reverses, but the situation is different with the 1976 Bicentennial silver dollars. The San Francisco Mint struck them with proof finish and regular finish. Both have an S mintmark and both are type 1 or variety. One, the only difference between them is their glossy finish versus regular.

Now here is an example of the uncirculated 76 dollar in mint 69 condition. This coin sold last year at estate auctions for four thousand five hundred dollars. The Bicentennial dollar coins were issued in many different sets. We want to talk about them briefly since we are getting a lot of questions about them. Obviously you can't buy these sets at the US Mint now, but you can buy them at the US Mint. secondary market or even during our live auctions that we have here. on youtube several times a week, so here is a test set from 1975. In this set you will have three bicentennial coins, a quarter dollar and a half dollar.

The same goes for the bicentennial coins from the 76 proof set and these sets will have a mintmark s, but their composition is clad along with the 1975 and 76 uncirculated minute sets, these sets have one dollar coins from the houses of philadelphia and denver coinage, the next is a bicentennial silver proof set of three coins again, they will have an s mintmark and a bright proof coin finish and the last is the 1976 uncirculated silver set, they have a mint mark and a regular finish. By the way, the silver coins in these games not only the ikes are made up of 40 silver.

Hopefully it helps you understand the difference between the games and the bicentennial dollar. Coins in general, as you can see in this video, are very special and valuable collectibles, purchasing mint or proof sets can be worth it in any regard.
