LOT 57 - Bicentennial Coin Collection 21 Ike Dollars 13 JFK
Description
This comprehensive Bicentennial coin collection contains 34 pieces commemorating America's 200th anniversary in 1976, including 21 Eisenhower dollars and 13 Kennedy half dollars. All coins feature the special dual-date "1776-1976" marking and distinctive Bicentennial reverse designs created for this historic celebration. The Eisenhower dollars display the Liberty Bell superimposed over the moon design by Dennis R. Williams, while the Kennedy half dollars feature Independence Hall in Philadelphia designed by Seth G. Huntington. These coins represent the only time in modern U.S. coinage history that regular circulation coins received special commemorative designs, making them highly collectible. The collection appears to include both circulation strikes and potentially some uncirculated examples, offering a representative sampling of this popular modern commemorative series. The Bicentennial coinage program generated significant public interest and remains one of the most widely collected modern U.S. coin issues. Condition Notes: Coins show varying degrees of circulation wear from very fine to uncirculated condition. Several Eisenhower dollars appear to retain original mint luster while others show moderate circulation marks. Kennedy half dollars display typical handling wear with some showing better preservation. No major damage or environmental issues observed. Some natural toning present consistent with age. Coins are loose and unprotected. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
