How come you never see any 1972 British copper coins?

There were no British 1/2p, 1p or 2p general circulation coins struck in 1972 because so many 1971 dated pieces had been struck to facilitate decimalisation. However, regular issues resumed in 1973. The only copper/bronze British 1972 coins that were struck were Proof FDC coins.


1973 silver dollar?

The series of Eisenhower (1971-1978) dollars can be confusing. None of the coins released into circulation contain any silver, people call them silver dollars just because of the size of the coins. The Mint did make special collectors coins that are 40% silver from 1971 to 1976. These coins were not released into circulation and all have "S" mintmarks, but not all the "S" mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The mint also made copper-nickel Proof coins with "S" mintmarks for 1973. To add to the confusion, 1973 was the only year the regular copper-nickel coins were not released into circulation. They were only issued in the Uncirculated Mint Sets sold from the Mint in 1973. Post a new question and include the mintmark if it has one. Also if it's in a plastic case.


Is there a 1973s Ike Dollar that is solid silver?

Solid silver? No. The silver clad Eisenhower dollars are all 40% silver. But for 1973 not all S mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The San Francisco Mint did strike copper-nickel proof coins that were included in the proof sets for 1973. The 40% silver coins were struck as proof & uncirculated but were sold separately, so 3 different S mintmarked coins were struck in 1973.
