    Xperfectx Forgive me, I am new here and curious.

    I have been reading and reading about this supposed elusive and rare 1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar Type 2 no mint.

    Here is an article from PCGS:

    https://www.pcgs.com/News/The-Unique-1976-Philadelphia-Eisenhower-Dollar

    So, am I missing something here or does this 1776-1976 Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar Type 2 with no mint, fit the description? If so, making this coin exstreamly rare?

    My apologies if I have overlooked any fundamental elements that would allow me to answer my own question. Generally speaking, before I openly ask any question, I try answer it myself first. Thank you for your time.

    Sorry, no. You are missing one important fact, the valuable coin is a proof. Yours is clearly a circulation strike.

    The 1976 type 2 (no mintmark = Philly) business strike, had over 113 million pieces struck.

    Yep, this is a type 2 business strike, not a proof. Very clear, informative article. Now I have to check my proof sets...Spark

    It's a Philadelphia coin for circulation, type 2. Not a proof and well over 100 million of them were minted.

    In my opinion, just like many, we all have one, I don't think you need to apologize for anything. I think you attempted due diligence and just didn't see the difference between a business strike and a proof. Keep on looking and post when, like this coin, you have a question you were unable to answer after due research. That's what this forum is about, IMHO.
