Here we offer the SILVER PROOF version of the 1976-S Ike Dollar.
This coin was originally offered in a US Mint 3 Coin PROOF Bicentennial Set. This coin is 40% silver content.
The 1976 Eisenhower Dollar featured a new reverse design to celebrate America's Bicentennial. This design was used for one year, although coins were minted during both 1975 and 1976. It features the Liberty Bell superimposed on an image of the moon. The obverse of the coin carries the dual date "1776-1976".
The Eisenhower Dollar series was issued from 1971 to 1978. The obverse of the coin features President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the reverse features the Apollo 11 Mission insignia.
The series marks the reappearance of the dollar coin and the first dollar coins struck with the copper-nickel clad composition.
The Eisenhower Dollar was only eight years in duration, but featured a variety of coins struck for collectors making the total series comprise 32 coins.
As the last large size dollar coin of the United States, it is a favorite of many modern coin collectors.
