my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 11:28 pm Is there any way to tell if your bicentennial coin was struck in 1975 or 1976? Is there a conceivable reason why someone may ever care either way? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Whether they were actually manufactured in the year they are dated is another story. I also understand that there were some variances on the Ike dollar coins. I also seem to recall that some of the 74 dated coins were minted into 75, so there is another rub... Report this Post to the Staff

For me, I have a Dansco Half dollar album. I put a proof half dollar into it, for each year of my life. For 1975, I took it from a proof set. Report this Post to the Staff
