1976 Type 1 Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar value guide -- the scarcer bold-lettering variety, mintage, and value.
Condition drives the price — full breakdown below.
Note: a full grade-by-grade breakdown for this coin is still being compiled.
4,019,000 struck — against the other key dates in the Eisenhower Dollar series.
Bars are scaled to keep the smallest mintages visible; the exact figure is printed on every row. Mintage is coins struck, not coins surviving — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further.
Type 1 uses the bold-lettering, low-relief reverse style carried over from 1975; a sharper, higher-relief Type 2 reverse replaced it partway through 1976 production. Type 1 mintage (4,019,000) is roughly 1/29th of Type 2's (117,337,000), making it the scarcer of the two.
The dual 1776-1976 date replaced the standard year on both types -- this pairing (Liberty Bell superimposed on the Moon) was used only in 1975-1976; no Eisenhower dollars were dated 1975.

Other dates and varieties in this series
What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 4,019,000-coin mintage.
Two examples of this date can be worth very different amounts depending on wear. Work out where an example sits on the range above before deciding whether its asking price is fair, and ask the seller for more photos if the wear points aren't clear.
Grading fees would eat much of what this coin is worth, so raw examples are normal here and nothing to be wary of. Judge it on clear photos of both sides and the seller's track record instead.
Every Eisenhower Dollar listed here is priced by an individual seller, so the same coin in the same grade can differ by a wide margin on any given day. Sort by price, check Metal Points and order history for a sense of the seller's record, and message them if the photos don't show enough to grade confidently.
