Texacojoe1 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/22/2017 3:32 pm I bought 29 IKR dollars from a random bank today while searching for half dollar rolls. As I was looking through them I found a 1976 bold letter reverse. As well as some thin letter reverse. Can't recall what one is more collectible. I am keeping them all but want to put aside the better coins. Also hit son 74 D mint. How do I know if they are possible silver planchets. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe the 1976 Type 2 has the highest mintage numbers of all Ikes. You can find out more about these here http://www.ikegroup.info/?page_id=181 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/23/2017 1:08 pm I heard years a ago the Type 1 was the 1975 design. The Type 2 is the 1976 design. I don't recall where I read that though. (There were more demand for the 1976 because of the Bi-Centenial year coins. Report this Post to the Staff

(There were more demand for the 1976 because of the Bi-Centenial year coins. It is because the 1975 proof and mint sets have the variety 1 reverse, while the 1976 sets have variety 2. There are supposedly some exceptions that have been found, but I believe they would be considered packaging errors as they were not intended.
