Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
A 1972 Eisenhower Dollar coin, a commemorative piece featuring Dwight D. Eisenhower on the obverse and an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse. This clad coin measures 38.1 mm in diameter and 2.15 mm in thickness, weighing 24.59 grams. It was minted in both Philadelphia and Denver, with a significant mintage for the Denver mint.
History
The Eisenhower Dollar, also known as the 'Ike' dollar, was minted from 1971 to 1978. It commemorated the life of General Dwight D. Eisenhower and marked the first large-denomination dollar coin issued by the U.S. Mint since 1935. The design reflects the post-Apollo era and the nation's achievements in space exploration.
Facts
The reverse design of the eagle and moon is inspired by the Apollo 11 mission insignia. The coins were made of a copper-nickel clad composition, which was a departure from earlier silver dollars. These coins are still legal tender but are rarely seen in circulation, making them a point of interest for collectors.
Value Fact
The market value for a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar varies significantly based on its condition and mint mark. Circulated examples are generally worth their face value or a few dollars. Uncirculated coins from either the Philadelphia or Denver mint, especially those with higher grades, can command prices from $10 to $50 or more, with proof versions being more desirable.
