1976 Eisenhower Dollar - San Francisco - Proof

The 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar was struck in 1975 and 1976, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of American independence.

The Obverse side of the coin uses the original Eisenhower dollar design, designed by the Mint Chief Engraver Frank Gasparro, featuring a bust of President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The Reverse design, unique to the 1976 Eisenhower dollar, was created by Dennis R. Williams as part of a public design competition. The design features a depiction of the Liberty Bell overlapping the Moon.

The Type I Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar features less distinct lettering on the reverse due to a striking issue. This led to its replacement by the Type II Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar.

Each 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar Proof comes encapsulated in uncirculated condition and with a protective black pouch.
