1976 bicentennial Ike no S mint mark

[Kevlar88]

Hello all ..

i am wondering all's impute on what i found in my collection read a article on it then went to check if i truly had it and yet behold i found a 1976 bicentennial Ike No S mint mark, proof in original package and have the correct version of it as well i can put right beside it still in original package from the mint as well. Wondering to ideas if i should get it graded and if yes by who as i am a PCGS plat member, and also any ideas if it is accurate and correct and last if you would do a auction house or a private dealer perhaps.

First 5 images are the rare no s and last group will be the correct one that is not so rare that have the s.

Welcome,

I can't see anything in these pictures

I agree with Paul, How many different coins are you posting?

[Earle42]

Please do only post one coin per topic.

We ask this so the person posting is not confused about which coin our answers refer to.

Also, although you posted the proof S-Ike pics for comparison, please do nto post comparison coins like this as:
1. We do not need to see them as we are familiar with normal coins.
2. It then confuses us sometimes and also does what was mentioned above.

However...
The no-P Ike in the first pic is not a proof coin (please look up the definition of a proof coin so you will know). The one key giveaway to this is the no-P Ike has no mirror surface like the S-Ike you posted after the first coin.

Philadelphia coins were not given a mint mark back then.

Ok so obviously you can see a S mint mark on four of the pictures just like I stated I thought hmmm. And two I also stated that the last four are what the coin should be and the first half .aka. The first six. Are the pictures from 1976 bicentennial No S. Mint mark in the package with the original green for San Francisco and how it all looks correct and weighs correct but is in original package from the mint but no S then obviously you see.So What Do You Mean Can’t See anything . ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO BE A TROLL OR are you just naturally a Richard?

Enjoy your site. And post this is hilarious

1st, the blue bar says it's a mint set... not a proof set Light blue for San Francisco, red for Denver, dark blue for philly.. the 76 proof sets came in a slab like plastic holder... not cellos... So while you may have an no "s" Ike it is NOT a proof. It is a rarer Type 1 and does appear to lack the s... I don't knowif that is a known varity... might be even be a discovery coin :D

[Earle42]

First...my mistake...neither of the coins you have pictures of are proofs. Sorry for that bit of misinformation. I saw the S on the last one and forgot about:
1. They made uncirculated S mint Ikes
2. I somehow missed it was in the plastic cello instead of the proof plastic holder...and I own both!

I am even more embarrassed as Kennedys and Ikes are two of the non-classic sets I specialize in/study/etc.!

Summary:
1st coin - Philly, never would have had a mint mark, normal mint set Ike.
2nd coin - San Fransisco, s mint mark, cello shows its a mint set and not a proof Ike.

Proof after next section showing where I agree and disagree:

Agreed:
- blue and mint set -not a proof set.
- proof sets came in hard plastic holder

Disagree:

So while you may have an no "s" Ike it is NOT a proof. It is a rarer Type 1 and does appear to lack the s.

The one with no mint mark (Philadelphia issue) is a type 2, however I agree the S-mint one is a Type I. Compare the Rs. All type I Ikes for 1976 have straight legged R's used int heir font such as the one shown below in the word DOLLAR (look at the one in AMERICA as well):

Next:
Here is a picture of a Philadelphia Ike MINT set from 1976. Note the plastic color as well as the current eBay number so you can see the listing for yourself (just type the number into the eBay search bar). A search for Philadelphia 1976 mint set will bring up more examples:

Here is a pic (etc.) of a 1976 PROOF set (mirror finish - unlike the mint sets):

For the record forum rules state you are to only post one coin per topic. Not 10 photos of multiple coins.

[Daniel]

Sorry but with of an attitude and complete disregard for forum rules you're always going to have trouble getting help. Instead of ranting just post one coin with a question and let us do our jobs. By the way we do this for free and in our spare time.

Stop taking to forum members like this. Your coin IS NOT a proof so it supposed to NOT have a mint mark, so your coin is NORMAL.

[Daniel]

Your set IS NOT a proof set. Your set is a mint set with non-proof coins.

The Philadelphia Mint didn't put a mint mark on some of these and each set contains a no mint mark Eisenhower because it's normal. Since it's not a proof then it's not a rare no S proof coin.
Here's a proof set and it must be in one of these not your cello you're showing.

This is what we get for helping this person.

Furthermore, if there's no mint mark, business strikes in the San Francisco mint cello it's an after mint packing error and is not valuable or special. Just a packing error.
