That's the bicentennial dollar, extremely common, and still worth one dollar.
On the reverse of the bicentennial silver dollar is the Liberty Bell super-imposed over and image of the moon.
Bicentennial, not centennial. 1776-1976 is two hundred years. Bicentennial commemoratives have the Liberty Bell and moon in their design. Other dates have an image of the eagle landing on the moon. In circulated condition these coins are interesting curiosities but have no extra value. Uncirculated copper-nickel ones are worth about $2. Uncirculated 40% silver Bicentennial dollars are in the $7-8 range.
Because the liberty bell is an old historic coin that is worth about $8.00
No gold Bicentennial coins of any kind were made by the US Mint, many common dollars, half dollars and quarters have been gold plated and sold as "Collectibles" for inflated prices.
If you are referring to a dual-dated 1776-1976 Bicentennial dollar, circulation issues were struck in copper-nickel and are worth face value only. Proofs and mint-set coins were struck in both copper-nickel and 40% silver. The silver coins sell for 7 or 8 dollars, the copper-nickel ones for about $3.
The Liberty Bell is pictured on the Forever Stamp. They are worth the current value of a first class stamp, which is 44 cents in 2009. They can only be used for US addresses.
That's a bicentennial dollar, and it's still worth one dollar.
The symbol was the liberty bell.
As you can tell from looking below the bell, the coin is a half dollar. Also, if you check any history book you'll find that the Liberty Bell really does have a crack in it.
the liberty bell symbolizes independence
Circulated bicentennial dollar coins are still only worth one dollar.
