    About this product

    Product Information

    A special 1976 Bicentennial three-coin set features proof examples of the historic Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar, and Eisenhower dollar. The coins, with a mirror-like proof finish, were struck by the San Francisco Mint, and therefore, each coin is marked with an 'S.' A proof coin, made with a specially polished and treated die, is created for collectors and never intended for circulation. The Eisenhower bicentennial silver dollar proof is one of 4 million coins produced for the 11 million uncirculated 1976-S 40% silver dollars in 1976. The United States Mint began minting these coins in 1975 to mark the upcoming 200th birthday of the nation on July 4, 1976. In honor of this occasion, the back of the coin features the Liberty Bell superimposed over a full moon.There were two varieties of this coin produced by the U.S. Mint. In Variety I of these special proof coins, the "R" of the word "DOLLAR" had a straight tail and bore a thick sans serif font to the writing. In Variety II, the "R" of "DOLLAR" is curved, and the writing has a thin serif font. The type contained in these 1976 Bicentennial 3-piece Silver US Proof Sets, like all uncirculated silver proofs of this coin, is Variety I. The Kennedy bicentennial silver half dollar features John F. Kennedy on the front. On the back, it features Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the United States Constitution was formed and adopted. This was a special design by American sculptor Seth G. Huntington. It was chosen via a competition held by the U.S. Mint, and this version of the coin was issued in 1975 and 1976. The Washington bicentennial silver quarter features a special reverse design in honor of the historic occasion as well. This one shows a colonial drummer. Beside his profile is a victory torch encircled by 13 stars. The design for the reverse of these historic quarters was also selected from the United States Mint's competition from the entry by Jack L. Ahr.On each of these coins, the date range 1776-1976 appears beneath the depicted president's profile. Each of the three coins contains 40% silver for a fineness of .400, and each has a silver content of 0.5379 troy ounces. The mint originally sold these piece sets directly through 1986.The set comes in an attractive bi-fold red, white, and blue presentation album. Each of the coins in this set is sealed in its own clear, two-piece plastic case. The coins are separated from one another by raised plastic rings. A paper insert covered in red felt adds a sharp aesthetic accent. The case of coins is then set into a molded frame of black plastic featuring raised letters in silver reading "UNITED STATES PROOF SET." A hinged flap can be flipped over to make for a sharp display. The clear plastic case and black plastic frame are then protected by a black card cover that has the phrase "United States Proof Set • 1976" imprinted in silver lettering.

        Highly Collectable Bicentennial Silver Proof Set

        The 1976 Bicentennial Commemorative Three Peice Silver Proof Set is the most desired and sought after U.S. Mint proof set issued in the last fifty years. The set contains three silver proof coins only issued and released in this set. It contains the Bicentennial dual dated (1776-1976) Silver Proof Eisenhower Dollar,Kennedy half Dollar and the Washington quarter. The reverse or tails side of the silver proof quarter has the unique "Patrioit Drummer" design used one time only for this coin. The Bicentennial Silver Proof Kennedy Half Dollar in this set is the single most collectable coin of all time. This Three Peice set had an original mintage of four million and was the only way you could purchase these three coins. With more than half of the coins melted in 1980 for their silver content ...

        How many times can you put a collection together? over the years I have had 2 individual sets , collections of coins. Gold coins, silver coins. Both coin collections included the 1976 bicentennial 40% silver set. So this is my third time since 1976 buying this set. this at my age is my last small collection of coins that include some nice coins such as my Connecticut commemorative half dollar ms-65, Texas commemorative ms-65. And some Morgan dollars, and Peace dollars, and commemorative silver dollars. So this old man is telling all the young collectors out there, enjoy over the years your collection. Just a bit of information, over the years I have realize I am a CUSTODIAN of my coins, just as previous owners where CUSTODIANS. It is our responsibility to maintain the quality of the coins ...

        Great Set

        I really like the dual date Bicentennial coins. I'm always looking for them in the change that i get and save them when I come across them. The 40% silver set is a really nice addition to my collection. I would recommend them to any serious collector. I like to show them to my friends and family because most people don't know about the bicentennial coins.
