1776-1976 Eisenhower Silver Dollar

This 1776-1976 Eisenhower Silver Dollar is a one-dollar coin issued by the United States Mint from 1971 to 1978.The 1776-1976 Eisenhower silver dollar, known as the Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar, was a commemorative coin issued in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, featuring a dual date and a Liberty Bell and moon design on the reverse. 

Considering the Bicentennial Dollars are technically only a one-year issue in terms of the single date reflected on these coins, there certainly are many number of varieties to account for – and that’s not even counting some very rare presentation strikes. Noted here that among the copper-nickel proofs, the Type I Dollars can be found in 1975 Proof Sets (which include a cent, nickel, and dime bearing the “1975” date along with the Bicentennial Quarter and Half Dollar). Meanwhile, the Type II Clad Proofs were distributed in 1976 Proof Sets, with all six coins in that set bearing the same contemporary date.
