Description
The 1976 (S) Proof Silver Eisenhower Dollar is a proof dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint, part of the Bicentennial Coins 1976 series. The Mint struck about 4 million 40% silver proof dollars for its three-coin proof sets. 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. Every 40% silver dollar carries the Type 1 reverse, with bold sans-serif lettering. No coins bear a 1975 date. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value is approximately $45. Struck in outer layers - 80% silver, 20% copper; center - 79% copper, 21% silver, weighing 24.6 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7436.
