Cory865 Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 4:36 pm Ok, so there's two types of these. I've read that all type 2 were minted in San Francisco an have the S mint mark. An I'm also aware that in Philadelphia they didn't use a mint mark...normal.My question is if all type 2 Ikies were San Francisco except a few that were "destroyed" that did come from Philadelphia as trials because of a designer competition, would that mean if you have a type 2 with no S mean its really rare? I know it wouldn't be "Unique" because there's one known that's a proof but I'm sitting here scratching my head wheels turning at the moment. Looking at a type 2 with no mint mark.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 6:25 pm No Ike's had a 'P' mint mark. Just the plain for Philly, 'D' for Denver and the 'S' for San Francisco. The "P' mint mark started on the 1979 SBS dollars. There were 1971-S through 1976-S silver clads (no 1975 dollars). There 1971-S through 1976-S had a copper nickel clad, but they were all proof coins. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 1:59 pm The only 1976 Eisenhower dollars that do not come in the two varieties are the 40% silver strikes. Both the uncirculated and proof versions are variety 1. The 1976 (Philadelphia), 1976-D, and 1976-S copper-nickel clad proofs come in two varieties.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 3:22 pm All type I coins were made in 1975 1976 Philadelphia both type I and Type II 1976 Denver Both type I and type II 1976 San Francisco CuNi clad proofs both type I and Type II 1976 San Francisco 40% silver Proof Type I only 1976 San Francisco 40% silver business strike quality Type I only. None of these are rare but the 1976 pP type I is tough in nice condition, most are weak and rather "baggy". There are a very few proof Philadelphia Bicentennial dollars. I believe three Type I and a unique Type II are known. I believe three of those are CuNi clad and one is 40% silver. Not sure, going off memory here and it isn't my specialty. Jbuck might know more about these than I do. I believe the type I coins were the result of pieces made for display purposes before the coins went into actual production. There is no good explanation for the type II coin. Edited by Conder101 09/22/2016 3:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 4:19 pm I do not know as much about the lesser varieties, especially the off-metal and odd proof strikes. I know they exist, but the only one I am familiar with is the 1974-D 40% silver, which I learned from The Ike Group.
