The moon is on the back of all 1970s Eisenhower dollars. It was in recognition of the moon landing.
The coin is a Eisenhower dollar and none of them released for circulation have silver. For 1971 & 1972 only, all S mint marked coins are 40% silver. Also if the coin is a high grade uncirculated example it may be worth up to $5.00.
Four quarters! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Apollo 17 was the last manned moon mission. It was launched December 7, 1972 and splashed down back here on Earth December 19, 1972.
What you have is a $1 coin (like it says on the back) that's normally called an Anthony dollar because it has a picture of womens' rights advocate Susan B. Anthony on the front. It's made of copper-nickel, not silver, and is only worth $1 if you found it in change.
The value of a coin can vary greatly depending on where you take it to be appraised as well as its condition. In general this coin is valued at between 5 and 10 dollars as of September 2014.

??? Roosevelt is on the dime, not the dollar. If you have a large coin (about 38 mm in diameter) with a picture of an eagle landing on the moon on its back side, you have an EISENHOWER dollar. Assuming it's from circulation, it's made of copper-nickel, not silver, and is only worth face value.
They both have 4 quarters. (The moon's phases)
Take a dollar out of your wallet. It looks pretty much like that. If you mean the dollar coin, it was considerably larger than any modern US coin; the front had a profile of Eisenhower and the back was an eagle landing on the Moon.
That circle can be viewed almost any night -- it is the moon above us. In circulated condition, that coin has no added value.

Yes, I have the Republic of the Marshall Islands "First Men on the Moon" $5 Commemorative Coin
The front looks the same as any other Eisenhower dollar, but with 1776-1976 for the date. Then on the back, it shows the Liberty Bell and the moon.

The reverse of the SBA dollar is more-or-less a smaller-scale version of the image on the back of the Eisenhower dollar: an eagle landing on the Moon.
This should be a large coin (40 mm) with the words "1 oz" and "999 Fine" on the back. It was minted for sale to collectors and investors. The $1 denomination is artificial. Because this coin's value is based on its silver content you'll need to check your newspaper's business section for the current price of silver and add a few percent. If you have a small (26.5 mm) coin with an eagle landing on the moon shown on the reverse, your coin is an Anthony dollar, not a silver eagle dollar. Please see the Related Question for details.
