1976 Eisenhower Dollar. Type I Reverse. MS-66 (PCGS). This is a very smooth and well preserved circulation strike Eisenhower dollar irrespective of date or variety. Lustrous satin surfaces are boldly struck and enhanced by lovely golden iridescence. Struck during calendar year 1975, the Type I Reverse 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar is far scarcer than its Type II Reverse counterpart. The former is identifiable by a low relief design with bold lettering in the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination ONE DOLLAR. Although the mintage of the Type I Reverse is just 4,019,000 pieces, as opposed to 113,318,000 coins for the Type II Reverse, Uncirculated examples are available since this is the variety that was included in Mint Sets sold to contemporary collectors. On the other hand, and as with all circulation strike Eisenhower dollars, the 1976 Type I Reverse is scarce to rare in the finest Mint State grades. The typical example is heavily abraded, usually from damage that the blank planchet sustained during the annealing process that was not struck out in the press. In fact, the 1973 and 1976 Type I Reverse are the two most consistently abraded circulation strike issues in the Eisenhower dollar series. One of the finest examples that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction, this upper end Gem will please even the most discerning bidder. Provenance: From the Rosie Collection. PCGS Population: 34; with a single MS-66+ finer. PCGS# 7418. NGC ID: B76K. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
