The reason the Bicentennial Dollars were minted was to honor the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, signed by many of the most notable United States Founding Fathers on July 4, 1776 to proclaim the sovereignty of the nation. The United States Mint began striking 1776-1976 Bicentennial Dollars in 1975, which is why there are no Eisenhower Dollars bearing a “1975” date – and the same goes for the Washington Quarters and Kennedy Half Dollars, also struck in 1975 and 1976 with special 1776-1976 dual dating and reverse Bicentennial designs. Modifications came soon after the first 1776-1976 Bicentennial Dollars rolled off the presses, with the changes coming most notably in refinements to the lettering on the reverse of the coin. These lettering style changes are what primarily distinguish a Type 1 Bicentennial Dollar from a Type 2, with the variations to letters on the reverse markedly different between the two types. Type 1 – The reverse lettering, including the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and “ONE DOLLAR” have a blockier, sans-serif appearance. Type 2 – Reverse lettering is refined with serifs that much more closely resemble the lettering style ordinarily seen on the obverse of the Eisenhower Dollar.
