Smoke_Sally7985 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 10:10 pm Has anyone ever heard of the 1776-1976 bicentennial Eisenhower silver dollar type 2? I read online that there is no record of any type 2 Ike 76's being produced at the Philadelphia Mint during that time. At first glance, it looks like the 3 we have were all type 1 which is cool... but upon closer examination, it looks like two of the ones we thought were type 1, are actually type 2!!! Now, we're not experts but we see what we see! Anyone know how to go about finding out what's what besides sending it thru the mail? It seems pretty sketchy to do something like that and if they are 2 out of the 3 in the world, we don't wanna take that chance!! We're located in Fargo ND.. If that helps any!! Please please please help us figure this out!! Pictures are coming soon! Thanks!!! Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 11:30 pm After looking at the chart above from Earle, I think I will go looking for the type 1, not that is rare, just to add that into my type collection. Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 03/09/2021 11:45 pm Are you sure it's silver? If you can see the copper core in the edge, that's not out of the ordinary. If it does look like silver, we'll need the weight for further evaluation. Report this Post to the Staff
