Description

The 1976 (D) Type 2 Eisenhower Dollar, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Bicentennial Coins 1976 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 82.2 million examples, making this ranked 4th of 5 mint variants by mintage, with 35% of production. The obverse features Dwight D. Eisenhower facing left and the reverse displays Dennis R. Williams's Bicentennial design. Dual-dated 1776-1976 with a special Liberty Bell superimposed on the Moon reverse. Two varieties exist: Type I (bold sans-serif lettering) and Type II (thinner serif lettering). No coins bear a 1975 date. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $7 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 22.7 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7421.
