Thumbs up E1, cool looking coins right there.

Rich,

Yes indeed. Also, it is common to see that coin on the back page of a complete album set of Ikes.

1976 S 40% Silver Bicentennials. Coming up on the 50-year mark. Look for the Red Pack and the Blue 3-coin folder. Once considered toxic waste and now highly sought after. Next year’s Quincentennial should add further interest in the Bicentennial Coins. Also, interest is gaining in the 40% silver clad coins from 1965-1970.

An Epic modern design for sure.

DaveSWFL,

Yes, an easy way to get rid of the rejects. I recently had a 2013-D Kennedy half dollar in Gem condition. Except, it had roll machine damage on the obverse. As Cali pointed out to me “The Ring of Death.” The coin was double mojo bad luck, so I gave it away to a pesky pan handler in front of the grocery store. I hope he’s OK. But, so glad I quickly got rid of that coin.

Definitely one of my favorites.

Snagged several rolls of them years ago and use them as valet tips. The valets love them!!! Especially the moon reverse

E 1, some of what you said of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s greatness was nicely captured in the 1990 Eisenhower Centennial Silver Dollar Commemorative coin.

DaveSWFL,

Yes, big and beastly indeed. IMO, the very first US coin to bring “Space” to US numismatics. Also, in 1972, a little something extra for the People of Florida. Additionally, Eisenhower’s two terms as President and his rank as Supreme Military Commander during WWII makes him one of the nation’s greatest. But, he has been forgotten by most – much like his coin. Someday, I hope, collectors will remember this man and his coin.
