1776-1976 Eisenhower Dollar coin type 2 no mint mark

Matthewbunnell

I have a 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar coin type 2 with no mint marking. Has a shiny finish to it but not sure if it is worth anything.

It looks typical for a cu/ ni issue.

It doesn't appear to have any special value.

With some of those marks that look like scratches in the field in front of Ike's face, I would say that it would really be worth nothing more than face value. Just for reference Philadelphia minted Ike dollars had no "P" mintmark on them .

@Matthewbunnell .... Welcome aboard.... Your Bi-Centennial Ike dollar appears to have some wear and scratches... It has no real collector value, but is a nice keepsake. Cheers, RickO

Recommend you start your own thread with pics. Welcome to the forums @prettypenny78.

I wonder if anyone reads anymore??? I wonder if anyone tries to find readily available information on their own without taking the lazy road and having someone else figure it out for them?? I don't mean to be coarse but the forum seems to be populated with newcomers to the Hobby that don't seem interested in learning the basics. maybe it is a symptom of Society, but after a while it gets annoying.

this forum is more than ready to answer questions, I ask a lot of them myself. but I also read and try to educate myself.

I always remember an old Al Lindnor "The In-fisherman" episode where he made the quote of a lifetime. he was talking about fishing but it applies to everything. to paraphrase, "Learning from someone else breeds dependence, learning for yourself breeds confidence."

That was very nicely said, @keets.

I can't figure out how these noobs think they can "do" U.S. Coins without obtaining a Red Book and trying to look up the coins that they are pulling out of their pockets to show us. Red Books can be easily found at garage sales and library book sales and such. Or Amazon will locate one for you for almost nothing (although the Amazon price might very well be too much for some of these folks). Just by trying to locate their coins in the Red Book, the newbies would surely learn something (anything!) as they flip the pages.

I do appreciate when the Moderators seemingly move this stuff over to the Q & A section!

It's cultural. They are probably millennials. My students do the same thing

It is worth ONE DOLLAR - it says so on the side opposite the big head and date
