THE NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE UNITED STATES WAS HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE ADOPTION OF NEW REVERSE DESIGNS FOR THE QUARTER, HALF DOLLAR, AND DOLLAR.
NEARLY A THOUSAND ENTRIES WERE SUBMITTED AFTER THE TREASURY ANNOUNCED IN OCTOBER 1973 THAT AN OPEN CONTEST WAS TO BE HELD FOR THE SELECTION OF THE NEW DESIGNS.
AFTER THE FIELD WAS NARROWED DOWN TO 12 SEMIFINALISTS, THE JUDGES CHOSE THE RENDITION OF THE
LIBERTY
BELL
SUPERIMPOSED ON THE MOON TO APPEAR ON THE DOLLAR COINS.
THIS DESIGN IS THE WORK OF DENNIS R. WILLIAMS.
THE OBVERSE REMAINED UNCHAGED EXCEPT FOR THE DUAL DATE “1776-1976,” WHICH APPEARED ON ALL DOLLARS MADE DURING 1975 AND 1976.
THESE DUAL-DATED COINS WERE INCLUDED IN THE VARIOUS OFFERINGS OF PROOF AND UNCIRCULATED COINS MADE BY THE MINT.
THEY WERE ALSO STRUCK FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION.
THE LETTERING WAS MODIFIED EARLY IN 1975 TO PRODUCE A MORE ATTRACTIVE DESIGN.
