Please check again and post a new question. There are no 1975-dated Ikes. The Mint did not strike any quarters, halves, or dollars with that date - only dual-dated 1776-1976 Bicentennial issues.

Okay! No silver quarter for 1776.

What is the value of my coin-1776-1976 Eisenhower Liberty dollow?
The date is 1776-1976. None of the bicentennial quarters struck general circulation have any silver or are more than face value.
Please be more specific. The Bicentennial was in 1976 not 1776.
Please check the date. There were 1776-1976 halves but none dated 1776-1975.
It's 1776-1976, and they're still worth 25 cents.
25 cents.
All of the Bicentennial coins with the dual date of 1776-1976 struck for circulation have face value only regardless of denomination.
It depends how this question is interpreted...... a) what is the value of the modern pound of today worth in terms of the Imperial currency of 1776..... Another interpretation of the question might be b) what is the current value of what the old imperial pound of 1776 used to be worth in terms of today's money? Answer a) A RPI (retail price index) calculator suggested, on another site, that the value of £1 as it was valued in 2007 would have been worth £0 0s 2d. The earnings calculator gave a value of 0d. So a sum of money between 1d and 2d in 1776 would be a best estimate to the modern sterling pound, in other words, at most, two pence. Answer b) In the Imperial system there were 240 pennies (d) in a pound, as there were 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillings in a pound. If we take 1.5 d as a best guess for the value of £1 (in 2007) , then the imperial pound of 1776 was worth about £160 in today's money. Nigel (nigel_johnston@yahoo.com)
