Happy Fourth of July!


United States Bicentennial Silver Uncirculated Set
1776-1976
I believe this set is worth around $30.00 .

Obverses to the coins in the set.

Reverses to the coins in the set.

Obverse of the 1976 Kennedy Half Dollar. The date was modified to have the 1776-1976 dual date instead of the usual single date.

The reverse of the 1976 Half Dollar designed by Seth G. Huntington.

Dual dated dollar. I love alliteration.

Reverse of the 1976 Dollar was designed by Dennis R. Williams.

Dual date on the quarter as well.

The reverse to this coin is more commonly seen in circulation since Ike Dollars and Half Dollars are rarely seen in circulation.
All of these coins feature an S mint mark on the obverse near the head/bust of the former president/national hero that is on the coin. They are all made of 40% silver. Also Happy 4th Everyone!

1776 Dollar or 1976 Dollar?


I have posted about 1976 coins before and how they always seem to confuse people. Let me spell it out nice and clear THIS IS NOT A 1776 DOLLAR! Usually if a coin has a later date on it it is from that year not the earlier one. Believe it or not this is a change find which doesn't happen often with Ike Dollars. I got it from a coin dealer at the flea market who didn't have any $1.00 bills. In EF-40  Eisenhower Dollars usually go for around $2.00. This one is worth just $1.00.
