What is a 1776-1976 eisenhower dollar worth?

A 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar, often called a "Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar", was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Here's information about its worth:

  • Composition: These dollars are primarily made of a copper-nickel clad composition (outer layers of 75% copper and 25% nickel bonded to a core of pure copper). There were also 40% silver versions produced.

  • Value - Copper-Nickel Clad: The copper-nickel clad versions are generally worth slightly more than their face value ($1) if they are in circulated condition. In uncirculated condition, they might be worth a few dollars. Mass-produced, they aren't particularly rare.

  • Value - 40% Silver: The 40% silver versions, which were struck as collector's items, are worth significantly more. Their value is largely dependent on the current spot price of silver. These are usually found in proof or uncirculated condition. They are commonly sought after by collectors.

  • Factors Affecting Value: The value of any coin is affected by these factors:

    • Condition: Coins in excellent condition (uncirculated) are worth more than those with wear.
    • Mint Mark: While not significant for the 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar in general, the presence of a mint mark (Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), or San Francisco (S)) can sometimes slightly influence value, with the S mint mark being more valuable.
    • Rarity: No significant errors or varieties exist for this type that would drastically increase its value.
    • Silver Price: For the 40% silver versions, fluctuating silver prices affect their value.
  • Where to Sell: If you have a 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar, you can sell it to coin dealers, at coin shows, or online through auction sites.

  • Important considerations: The copper-nickel clad coins are very common. The 40% silver coins are more valuable but their value is still tied to the silver content.
