derrick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 1:17 pm I see an entry in the Red Book for "1776-1976, Silver Clad, Variety 2" with no mintage or price listed. I've never encountered this coin and can't figure out what they are talking about. My understanding is that there is a 1976 S Silver Clad in both BU and Proof, both with the Variety 1 lettering. Does anyone know anything about this Variety 2 no mint mark Silver Dollar? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 2:14 pm All of the 40% silver 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollars are Variety 1. No copy of the Red Book that I have lists a Variety 2 40% silver 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar. It may be a known error, but I am not familiar with it.

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 5:20 pm I have a 2009 and 2013 with me right now. I looked in the 2013 earlier. Call me crazy, but I just looked at the 2009 and found it in there. I double-checked the 2013, it seems to have been there all along. I see nothing on the The Ike Group. Someone more familiar with Errors and Varieties will have to comment, so I am moving this to the appropriate forum.

jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 5:26 pm I dig some digging. The price guide at The Ike Group... 1976 D Silver Type 2 Struck on 40% silver planchet $24,000 (MS-64) http://www.ikegroup.info/_pdf/bs_pricelist.pdf NumisMedia shows nothing.

derrick New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 07:06 am Thanks jbuck, that's the best explanation I've seen so far. I had a customer ask me about it. Must be an error that one can find in one out of 100,000 1976 mint sets or something like that. Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 09:15 am Wait.... the "1976" bicentennial PROOF coins is listed as a 1975, NO S mint mark. if I recall correctly. Its called a "1975" because the penny and dime have the year 1975 on them. That was a year for the error on the 10 cent with NO "S". That one is pricey. If it is extremely rare it should be listed in the Cherry Pickers Guide, but I dont have access to my copy at the moment. If some one does, it may be listed under 1975 or 1976. I know that some of the "varieties" relate to the type of mintmarks used....In the CP guide, check the back of the book and there is a few pages that show each type of "mint mark variety". Typically no mintage numbers mean that they don't know the total number, and the numbers are simply part of the normal coins that were minted for that year. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/17/2013 11:18 am There were a couple of proof no mint mark type 2 40% silver pieces struck for some special display at a media event. They were supposed to have been destroyed afterward but they later showed up in circulation. I believe there are only two of them. (Why they couldn't have used a couple of the regular clad proofs I do not know. By the time the type 2's were made there would have been plenty of clad proofs available. Even if they needed the type 2 for the event, why make it in silver?) Report this Post to the Staff
