1976 S Type 1 Silver Bicentennial Eisenhower Ike Dollar
This is the Type 1 1976 S Bicentennial Eisenhower Dollar in 40% Silver-Clad composition. This coin features a 1776-1976 date on the obverse and a portrait of the Liberty Bell in front of the Moon to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States of America and President Dwight D. Eisenhower's work in starting the US Space Program which led to the Apollo 11 Moon landings. This coin was produced in both years of 1975 through 1976 so there were no 1975 coins.

One version is the Type 1 1976 S Brilliant Uncirculated silver Eisenhower Dollar (as depicted above) while the other version is the Type 1 1976 S Silver Proof Eisenhower Dollar which was a coin with a mirror-like surface also made just for collectors. Only 4000000 of these mirror-like silver proof coins were produced. An example of the proof version is depicted below:
