Type 2 Eisenhower Appraisal

1976-S Eisenhower $1.00 Type Two DCAM Gem Proof

This item is a 1976-S Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar, specifically identified as a 'Type Two' variety. The coin is struck in a proof finish with Deep Cameo (DCAM) characteristics, featuring highly frosted devices (the portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower and lettering) that provide a sharp contrast against deeply mirrored, reflective fields. The Type Two variety is distinguished by the refined, thinner lettering on the reverse (though the reverse is not visible, the slab confirms the variety). Struck at the San Francisco Mint as indicated by the 'S' mint mark, this coin is composed of 40% silver, a common material for the proof Bicentennial issues. The coin is housed in a clear plastic protective slab provided by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), a secondary grading service. The dual date '1776-1976' is prominently displayed on the obverse to celebrate the United States Bicentennial. Physically, the coin appears in 'Gem' condition with no visible scratches, toning, or post-mint damage apparent through the holder. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-pressure proof striking, resulting in razor-sharp details in Eisenhower's hair and the facial contours. While the user's text mentions a Philip III Arrhidaeus Tetradrachm, the image strictly depicts a modern US numismatic coin.
