It's the national motto. It's a Latin phrase meaning "out of many, one."

What is the value of a US E Pluribus Unum 1 dollar coin?

Nearly ALL US $1 coins carry the motto "E Pluribus Unum" so that is not a distinguishing characteristic. Please post a new, separate question with the coin's date.


How much does a 1972 e pluribus unum gold one dollar coin worth?

All U.S. coins dated 1972 have the motto E-PLURIBUS-UNUM. The only $1 coin minted that year is the Eisenhower dollar. None of the coins were struck in gold. It has been privately gold plated, and has no numismatic value. It's worth $1 unless you find someone that wants it.


What is the value of an 1878 E Pluribus Unum 1 dollar gold coin?

The fact that a coin has E Pluribus Unum, the national motto, on it generally wouldn't be much help in identifying it. However in this case it indicates your coin is actually a silver dollar that's been gold-plated, not a gold dollar. Actual gold $1 coins don't carry the motto because they're so small. Unfortunately the gold plating means your coin is altered goods from a coin-collecting viewpoint. At a minimum it's still worth its silver value, about 0.77 times the current price of silver. If it's not worn or otherwise damaged it will still make a nice piece of jewelry or simply a conversation piece.


What is written on the edge of a dollar coin?

E Pluribus Unum, the date, and the mint mark. Some $1 coins also have In God We Trust, but pressure from various groups forced the Mint to move the motto to the front of the coins in 2009.


What is the is the value of a 1879 silver dollar with E Pluribus Unum printed on the side with the date and peace printed on the flip side underneath the eagle?

Please do two things: 1. Look at your pocket change. Every U.S. coin has the phrase E Pluribus Unum on it so that is not anything that distinguishes one coin from another. 2. Look at your silver dollar. Dollars with the word PEACE on them were issued to mark the end of WWI so it could not be from 1879. The only way an "1879" dollar would have a Peace reverse is if was an altered coin made by cutting apart 2 dollars and swapping sides, kind of like a magician's coin with two tails or heads.
