The 1976 Eisenhower Dollars have two distinct types, identifiable by the style of lettering on the reverse of the coin. Type 1 coins use bold, block lettering. Type 2 coins use thinner, more delicate lettering. Generally Type 1 coins are more difficult to find in higher grades, especially the Philadelphia issue.
The San Francisco Mint produced 40% silver Ike Dollars for the last time. These coins were sold in special collectors sets which included silver clad versions of the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coins. The sets were available in either Uncirculated or Proof. The San Francisco Mint also produced clad proof coins for government issued proof sets.
At the conclusion of 1976, the regular reverse design resumed for the final two years of the Eisenhower Dollar series.
