- 1976-D Eisenhower Dollar. Type I Reverse. MS-67 (NGC). This bright and brilliant example offers a very smooth appearance for a circulation strike modern dollar of this design type. It is boldly defined and shows traces of die polishing around the obverse devices. This piece is tied for finest certified at both PCGS and NGC, making it an ideal candidate for a top ranked collection on the NGC Registry. In 1976, to celebrate the American Bicentennial, special reverses were designed for the quarter, half dollar, and dollar and each denomination bore the dual date 1776-1976. For the Eisenhower dollar, the Liberty Bell was superimposed over a representation of the Moon. Two different hub styles were used to coin over 100 million pieces combined for the Denver Mint's issue of the date. The Type I features large flat letters, as here, while the Type II has thinner more angular letters. As with many of the Eisenhower dollars, the 1976-D was not particularly well made, especially those intended for circulation, and was prone to damage. Only recently has careful attention been paid to this series, and the true rarity of expertly preserved and well struck specimens such as this is now coming to the fore. Provenance: From the Pittstown Collection. Combined PCGS and NGC Population: 23; 0 finer. PCGS# 7420. NGC ID: B76N. Click here for certification details from NGC.
