Description

A dollar from the San Francisco Mint, the 1976 (S) Silver Eisenhower Dollar belongs to the Bicentennial Coins 1976 series. The Mint struck about 11 million 40% silver uncirculated dollars for its three-coin sets; CoinWeek reports 4,908,319 uncirculated sets sold. 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. The San Francisco Mint, a Gold Rush-era institution, now specializes in proof and collector coinage. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $43 depending on grade and condition. 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 #7422.
