1976-D Eisenhower Dollar. Type I Reverse. MS-67 (PCGS). One of the very finest known dollars from this mintage of 21.04 million coins. The overall preservation is exceptional, especially for a coin of this size. A faint golden iridescence shimmers across each side, accenting the silky and satiny luster throughout. Boldly defined and showing traces of die polishing around the obverse devices. This piece is tied at the very top of the PCGS Population Report with only 10 other examples. An ideal Registry Set specimen. In 1976, to celebrate the American Bicentennial, special reverses were designed for the quarter, half dollar, and dollar and each denomination bore the dual date 1776-1976. For the Eisenhower dollar, the Liberty Bell was superimposed over a representation of the Moon. Two different hub styles were used to coin over 100 million pieces combined. The Type I features large flat letters while the Type II, as here, features thinner more angular letters than before. As with many of the Eisenhower dollars, the 1976-D was not particularly well made as a whole, especially those intended for circulation, and was prone to damage. Only recently has careful attention been paid to this series, and the true rarity of such expertly preserved and well struck specimens is now coming to the fore. PCGS Population: 11; none finer.
