How much is Eisenhower silver dollars 1972?

Answer 1

All circulating "Ike" dollars were made of copper-nickel and not silver, despite many myths and urban legends to the contrary. These coins have either no mint mark or a D above the date, and show a copper-colored edge.

40% silver versions were made during the years 1971-76. They all carry an S mint mark and were only sold in special packaging for purchase by collectors, not for circulation.

None of the Eisenhower dollar coins regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have more than face value or have any silver in them. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint contain silver and that's only 40%.

Answer 2

Eisenhower "Silver" Dollars minted in San Francisco (with the "S" Mint Mark) were comprised of 40% silver. The outer layers were .800 silver, .200 copper bonded to an inner core of .209 silver, .791 copper (net wt. .3161 oz silver). All other Eisenhower Dollars were copper-nickel.

Answer 3

Some Eisenhower Dollars were minted in a 40% silver clad to be sold to collectors. All of these coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint and have the "S" mintmark, with dates 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. No 40% silver coins were minted in 1977 or 1978.

Answer 4

People call these coins "Silver Dollars" just because of the size. None of the coins made for circulation have any silver and are not worth more than face value. The Mint did offer Proof and Uncirculated coins in 1972 that were struck in 40% silver, but they all have "S" mintmarks and are worth about $6.00.
