Value is right around $.02. Very common and not in good condition.

 

Thank you!! And yet, after all the many years is still hanging in there, I wish humanity was that strong.

 

And that is the true key to enjoying these old coins. Of all the billions that have been struck, there really aren’t that many that hold any great intrinsic value…. But where else are you gonna hold 124 years of history in your hands for a mere few cents?… That cent witnessed the end of one Great War and the entirety of another.. Witnessed families gathered around radios in the family room…. Then televisions. The birth of rock & roll and everything in between…… And you just can’t put intrinsic value on that.

 

History and art. Coins have it all.

 

Beautifully put nothing to add truly, just the billions it has helped with bread in their tables and a happy birthday gift or two,the many hands it has touched and the places it has seen, it should truly be a unifying force for all I see.

 

I have this coin and I can't find a good site to check value. Could you help? Thanks

 

That's a bicentennial Eisenhower dollar, Denver mint. The 1776-1976 double date was issued in both 1975 and 1976. It's worth about $1-1.75 in circulated condition. That ding on his face is a bummer.

Here's a couple of on-line sites that list approximate values for raw coins, but take any pricing guide as ballpark with a large grain of salt. Completed sales on eBay is sometimes useful, too.

Yes, the ding is pretty deep, very visual, thanks a lot for the links above

 

I should add that it's a neat coin and I would absolutely keep it myself. I graduated High School in 1976 and for years I would keep every bicentennial quarter I got (rarely saw a dollar or half-dollar in circulation, or I would have kept them, too). Eventually I had too many and stopped but it's still kinda hard for me to spend one.

 

Good to know that I’m not the only one.

 

I agree fully, it is an impressive coin, I like it a lot. I don't know why the value is so little but that for sure has nothing to do with the beauty of the coin. It is a keeper.

 

It doesn’t have silver do it’s basically worth a dollar. That cut on his chin adds to its low value.
