You most definitely won't find one dated 1975; all of the ones minted that year are the dual dates 1776-1976 Bicentennial Dollars.

Look at the reverse of the 32 1976 dollars you have. The ones with block style lettering, Type I, were minted in 1975. The ones with the slender serifed style lettering, Type II, were minted in 1976. (More Information)

The 1973 dollars were never released into circulation. They were released in mint sets only. However, people have been known to spend them, not knowing the significance of a collection they inherited or stole.

Thanks, Jbuck. That explains it. As you can see, I've got a bit of studying to do...

You are welcome! We all started somewhere, and you came to the right place. I wish I had a place like CCF when I was first started collecting.

I wish CCF had been around back then, too. I first collected in the mid-80s (and was then out for over twenty years) and was going though some of the coins I bought back then. A couple of the 2x2s have prices written on the back. $5 for a VG 1930-S dime in 1986 or so? Yikes! I hope it was a recycled holder and not the price I paid. But it turns out I also have an 1892-S Barber dime, so all is well.

Meanwhile, I've gone through the Ikes and have not found a single interesting coin. I think I must have someone's cull pile. No wonder they threw them in a koi pond and/or set them on fire.

Ah! Welcome back then!

A few weeks ago I re-organized one of my miscellaneous albums, finding some 2x2s with descriptions that had nothing to do with the actual coin! Closer inspection revealed evidence of being previously stapled.

Blasphemy!
