As of 12/2008, Numismedia quotes the fair market value (FMV) at $5.00 By the way, the coins should be carrying a "S" mint mark.
If your 1972 coin is a uncirculated example it 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. In general none of the coins made for circulation have any silver and are not worth more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums. The Mint did offer Proof and Uncirculated coins in 1971-1976 that were struck in 40% silver.
It is worth a penny
None of the Eisenhower dollar coins (1971-1978) made for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins with "S mintmarks sold from the US Mint contain any silver, and that's just 40%. NOTE: Because no Ike dollars were included in the 1971 & 1972 Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the US Mint, typical Mint State coins from 1971 & 1972 do have values of $2.00 to $8.00 depending on the grade and mintmark
Numismedia lists an approximate retail value as of 07/2009 of $250 for a 1972 double-die cent in circulated condition. Uncirculated ones exceed $400.
Cayman Islands dollar was created in 1972.
The 1972-S Proof Eisenhower Dollar has a current retail value of $6.50
As of 10/2009 a 1972 proof set is worth: $8.00 - $9.00.
Cayman was always regarded as a dependency of Jamaica until Jamaica got independence they opted to stay under British rule. The Cayman Islands was also using the Jamaican currency up until 1972.
About $4.50 if it is in its original Mint packaging
All Proof 1972-S Eisenhower dollars are 40% silver. Current average market values are $7.00.
Average retail price is $8.00 issue price was $5.00
If it's not proof or a very high mint state coin, it's face value
A 1972 Eisenhower dollar is just a big dollar, only proof & special collector's coins sold from the mint have more than face value.
Ceteris paribus --- what the market will bear!
About $5 if in its original packaging. It should have an "S" mint mark above the date. If not, it's not a proof - since 1968 proof coins have only been struck at San Francisco.
No 1972 silver proof sets were made, only single Eisenhower uncirculated & proof coins were struck in 40% silver.
