Additional Description: Set of four original 1976 U.S. Mint Bicentennial coin sets, containing 18 coins total:
One 1976-S three-coin Bicentennial silver proof set, containing a Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar and Eisenhower dollar, all struck in 40% silver.
One 1976-S three-coin Bicentennial silver uncirculated set, containing the same three denominations in 40% silver, sealed in the original Mint holder. The U.S. Mint originally issued both silver versions as three-piece sets.
Two 1976-S six coin clad proof sets, each containing a Lincoln cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Bicentennial Washington quarter, Bicentennial Kennedy half dollar and Bicentennial Eisenhower dollar. These are regular copper nickel clad proof sets; the quarter, half dollar and dollar are not silver. Each of the two regular black proof-set displays has one missing or broken hinge pivot nub. The covers remain attached by the surviving hinge.
The Bicentennial coins feature the dual date 1776–1976, with a colonial drummer on the quarter, Independence Hall on the half dollar and the Liberty Bell above the moon on the Eisenhower dollar.
Both silver sets together contain approximately 1.0762 troy ounces of actual silver.
