Description
This is a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar coin, a United States dollar coin issued from 1971 to 1978. The obverse features a profile portrait of Dwight D. Eisenhower, designed by Frank Gasparro. The reverse depicts a bald eagle in flight, the Mint's symbol, and the inscription "E Pluribus Unum." The coin is made of a copper-nickel clad composition and has a reeded edge.
History
The Eisenhower Dollar, also known as the Ike dollar, was minted to commemorate President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was the last U.S. dollar coin intended for general circulation. The design was chosen through a competition. The coin was produced at the Philadelphia and Denver mints, with some special collector versions minted in San Francisco.
Facts
This coin series holds significance as it was the last large-size dollar coin produced for circulation. The reverse design of the eagle was inspired by the Apollo 11 mission insignia, symbolizing national achievement. While intended for circulation, many Ike dollars were saved by collectors, making uncirculated examples relatively common.
Value Fact
The market value for a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar varies greatly depending on its condition and mint mark. Circulated examples are generally worth their face value or slightly more. Uncirculated coins, particularly those from the Denver mint with excellent strike and eye appeal, can command prices ranging from a few dollars to over ten dollars. Proof coins from San Francisco are more valuable.
