In order to celebrate the bicentennial year, the US Mint decided to produce a commemorative coin. For the US Mint, this meant to stop production in 1975 and start working on the special date. There is no Eisenhower dollar, marked with the date of 1975, since most of the bicentennial dollars were minted that year but carry the 1976 date. Out of the mass production came two types of reverse designs. Both designs contain the same moon superimposed over the Liberty Bell but it is the lettering on the reverse that sets the two types apart. The lettering, on the Type I reverse, reveals a bold, block font, compared to the delicate, fancier font on the reverse of the Type II. The 1976-S Clad Proof Type I Eisenhower Dollar Roll is made out of a copper-nickel alloy and shines with the flawless finish of a proof coin. There are also 20 coins to a roll.
