I have a type 2 Eisenhower Bicentennial dollar, it is not a proof I bought it out of a cash register. There is no mint mark on it, is this usual?

Just a plain old Philadelphia Bicentennial Ike. Philly Ikes did not carry a mint mark (the P mintmark did not appear on dollars until the Susan B. Anthony in 1979).

But everything I have read states that the type one proofs were done at the Philadelphia mint without an S mark were destroyed and replaced with different one's bearing the S mark. The type 2 was made at the San Francisco mint and all have and S mark. Except for one which was found in a cash register at some department store and is now in a private collection.

Never heard of that. To my knowledge, ALL proof Ikes were struck at San Francisco--that includes all clad Type 1 & Type 2 proofs, as well as the silver proofs (all of which were Type 1).

You said that your Ike is not a proof. Type 2 Philly Ikes ( no mint mark) are about as common as mosquitos in June.

This is true, but as you said YOUR coin is not a proof.

Philadelphia made both type 1 and type 2 business strikes with no mintmark.
Denver made both type 1 and type 2 business strikes with a D mintmark.
San Francisco made type 1 40 % silver business strike quality and proofs with an S mint mark. They did NOT make any 40% silver type 2 coins.
San Francisco made both type 1 and type 2 coppernickel clad proofs with an S mintmark.
