How much are the 1971 Eisenhower dollar coins worth?

Answer 1

Your coin is copper-nickel, not silver. The S mint mark indicates that it's a proof coin.

It depends on what condition you are talking about. The "2008 Official Red Book" lists it at $8.50 for MS-63 state, where the PF-65 state lists it as $9.00. (MS-63 is simply stating that the coin has some contact marks or blemishes and the luster may be impared, while PF-65 brilliant surfaces, no blemishes or flaws). Remember that the prices in this book are retail prices that are collected two months prior to printing, but are only a guide, not a price list.

Answer 2

1972-S dollars were struck for proof sets only. Assuming your coin is still in its original packaging it's worth about $5.

If it has been removed from its package but not circulated, that might drop to at most $2.

If someone for unknown reasons spent the coin, that destroys its proof status and makes it only worth face value.

Answer 3

None of the Eisenhower dollar coins struck for general circulation have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint with "S" mintmarks are 40% silver and have premiums

Answer 4

If your Eisenhower dollars are dated 1971 or 1972 and are uncirculated examples they may be worth about $5.00 because the 1971 & 1972 issue coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in those years. But in general none of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premium.

Answer 5

Unless your coin has an "S" mintmark, it is only worth $1. If your coin has an "S" mintmark, it was a collectors item and worth up to around $15 or so.
