DESCRIPTIONS

Uncirculated! The Eisenhower dollars offered here were struck at the Denver Mint for only two years. They were first struck in 1975 with block lettering on the reverse. Partway through 1975, the reverse design was sharpened and the lettering was changed to produce a more attractive design. This new Type II design would continue to be used until 1977 when the Bicentennial reverse design was discontinued. Because the Type I was struck only partway through the first year of issue of the Bicentennial design, the mintage is much lower than that of the Type II design. In fact, only 20% of the Denver Mint Bicentennial issues are estimated to feature the Type I design.
