Bold lettering is type 1 1976 Ike's. Plain lettering is the type 2 1976 Ike's. The type 1 was minted in the early part of 1975 but then they swapped to type 2 dies. I would definitely hang on to the type 1 Ike's you find since they are rarer and carry a slight premium to the type 2. There is actually a lot of die variations besides the bold lettering between the two. You will find that the two u's in e pluribus unum overlap in the bold Ike's directly overtop of each other. In the type 2 they are pretty far apart.

I'm trying hard to find a type 1 Philadelphia ike right now. I ended up having to buy an AU type 1 1976 Denver ike for $3.

The type 1 Ikes have heavy reverse lettering. They are harder to find than the type 2s.
