1776-1976-D Type 2 Ms66 Dollar $398

1776-1976-D TYPE 2 MS66 DOLLAR $398 This 1776-1976-D Eisenhower Bicentennial Dollar is a remarkable specimen graded MS66, indicating a highly preserved Mint State condition with exceptional luster and minimal surface marks. This specific coin features the Type 2 reverse, distinguished by its refined, thinner lettering compared to the blockier font of the Type 1. Struck at the Denver Mint to commemorate the United States Bicentennial, the reverse showcases the iconic Liberty Bell superimposed over the moon, a design by Dennis R. Williams. While most circulating Bicentennial dollars were composed of copper-nickel clad, this example is particularly desirable for its high technical grade, as these large coins often suffered from contact marks during the minting and bagging process. Professional grading ensures its authenticity and quality, making it a cornerstone piece for collectors specializing in modern American coinage or Eisenhower dollar varieties. Condition: This Eisenhower Dollar is graded MS66 (Mint State 66) by a third-party grading service, indicating a high-quality specimen with minimal distracting marks or abrasions and strong original luster. Mint: The "D" mint mark signifies it was struck at the Denver Mint. Metal content: Unlike the silver collector versions struck in San Francisco, this Denver-minted "D" circulation issue is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core, containing no actual silver. Historical context: Issued to celebrate the United States Bicentennial, these coins feature a dual date (1776-1976) and a special reverse design by Dennis R. Williams depicting the Liberty Bell superimposed on the moon. Collector value: While common in lower grades, an MS66 is a high-grade example that appeals to registry set collectors; however, the $398 price mentioned is significantly higher than current market averages for this specific grade and variety, which typically retail closer to the $50-$100 range. Strike type: This is a business strike intended for circulation, specifically the Type 2 variety characterized by thinner lettering on the reverse compared to the bold lettering of Type 1. Grading: The coin is professionally graded and encapsulated in a protective holder, confirming its authenticity and state of preservation.
