Commemorative Mint Set Appraisal

First Commemorative Mint 1976 United States Bicentennial Set

This is a United States Bicentennial commemorative currency set produced and marketed by the First Commemorative Mint. The set features two primary components of legal tender: an Eisenhower Dollar coin (likely the 1776-1976 copper-nickel clad dual-dated variety) featuring the profile of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and a 1976 Series Two Dollar federal reserve note. The note displays the portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and is a Series 1976 bill from the Second Federal Reserve District (New York, denoted by the 'B' seal). The serial number visible is B12040850A. Both items are housed in a black vinyl folder with clear protective sleeves. Included is a pink Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from the First Commemorative Mint, which guarantees the items as genuine legal tender struck by the United States Mint. The set also includes decorative cardstock backing with historic imagery of Liberty Bell and descriptive text. The condition of the currency appears to be uncirculated or lightly handled, though the note shows minor waves common for plastic storage. The folder and paperwork show crisp edges with no significant fading or tearing, suggesting the item has been well-preserved in a collection.
