It's the national motto. It's a Latin phrase meaning "out of many, one."
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.
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.
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.
E Pluribus Unum, the date, and the mint mark. Some $1 coins also have In God We Trust, but pressure from various groups forced the Mint to move the motto to the front of the coins in 2009.
Please do two things: 1. Look at your pocket change. Every U.S. coin has the phrase E Pluribus Unum on it so that is not anything that distinguishes one coin from another. 2. Look at your silver dollar. Dollars with the word PEACE on them were issued to mark the end of WWI so it could not be from 1879. The only way an "1879" dollar would have a Peace reverse is if was an altered coin made by cutting apart 2 dollars and swapping sides, kind of like a magician's coin with two tails or heads.
Its 1$
It is a Sacajawea dollar coin worth $1 dollar.NOTE: The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is NOT used to identify any US coin

There's no coin called a "union silver dollar", and the motto "E Pluribus Unum" has appeared on all circulating $1 coins minted since 1878 so that doesn't help to ID it either. Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question with its date.
All U.S. coins have the word Liberty and the mottoes E Pluribus Unum and In God We Trust. Look at your pocket change!Have you seen anything on the TV or read in a magazine about the Sacagawea dollar coin? It's been issued for 9 years. There are about 1.5 billion of them. It's made of brass and is an ordinary circulation coin, worth exactly $1.
If the question was supposed to ask about the coin's value, it's worth one cent.
The coin is a Sacagawea dollar not a liberty dollar and it's only worth a dollar.
