Bicentennial Dollar Appraisal

U.S. Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar Coin (Obverse)

This item is identified as a U.S. Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar coin, specifically the obverse side. The coin features the bust of Dwight D. Eisenhower in profile, facing left, prominently displayed in the center. Above his head, along the rim, the word "LIBERTY" is inscribed, with each letter clearly visible. Below Eisenhower's bust, the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is distinctly legible. Beneath the motto, the dual bicentennial dates "1776-1976" are embossed, commemorating 200 years of American independence. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metal, likely copper-nickel clad or a silver-clad alloy, typical for Eisenhower Dollars. The surface exhibits moderate wear consistent with circulation, particularly noticeable in the softening of details on Eisenhower's hair and facial features. There are visible surface scratches and minor abrasions across the field and the raised elements, indicating handling and use. A slight patina or toning is present, giving the coin a somewhat muted luster rather than a brilliant, uncirculated sheen. No obvious mint mark is discernible on this side, which would typically be located below Eisenhower's neck or near the date. The overall impression is that of a moderately circulated coin from the bicentennial period, with all key design elements intact but showing signs of its age and use.
