Overview

Historical significance

The Eisenhower Dollar was the first dollar coin issued by the United States Mint since the Peace Dollar production ended in 1935. It was minted from 1971 to 1978 and commemorated President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Apollo 11 moon landing. The 1972 coin is part of the early production years of this series.

Estimated value

For a standard 1972 Eisenhower Dollar in circulated condition, the value is typically around face value ($1 USD) to a few dollars depending on condition. Uncirculated examples can fetch $5-$10, and rare varieties (like the 1972 Type 2) can be worth significantly more.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can devalue it.
