Labor problems were not severe at this time. There are always some strikes and the unions always want to repeal Taft-Hartley, but labor problems were not a focus in the 1960 campaign.

Not silver, copper-nickel.

Please see the Related Question for more information. Circulating dollars dated 1972 are not silver. Look at the edge - it's made of the same copper/nickel "sandwich" metal used in dimes, quarters, and halves. They're worth anywhere from face value to $1.10

However, if it has an "S" mintmark and is mint-sealed in Mylar with a blue envelope, it is an uncirculated 40% silver coin worth about $6. If it is a proof coin sealed in a hard plastic case and packaged in a brown box (also with an "S" mintmark) it lists at $6.50.

I have not seen any significant increase in the value of Eisenhower Dollars lately. In fact, the rarest date (the 1973-S silver proof) has been more on a decline in value.

As far as holding on to Ike dollars, you would probably be a lot better off selling them and buying key date coins in other series'.

Common coins will always be common coins.

About 5 years ago I attended an auction where a large number of solid-date rolls of uncirculated Ikes were offered. They brought $22 a roll, or $1.10 per coin. After the auction house took a 20% commission, the seller received 88 cents for every dollar that was sold!

Dwight D. Eisenhower served two 4-terms for a total of 8 years as President of the United States of America, from 1953 January 20 to 1961 January 20. This was the only political office that Eisenhower held in his lifetime, as he came from a military background, famously acting as the Supreme Allied Commander of Allied Forces in Europe after WWII. Before becoming the 34th president, Eisenhower was a five-star general who served during World War 2.

"Dynamic Conservation" was Eisenhower's economic philosophy which favored a continuation of the chief New Deal programs combined with an attempt to move the federal government out of some areas. Some people explained it as "conservative when it comes to money and liberal when it comes to human beings" Budget cutting was a high priority for new administration --> set out after domestic programs and national defense Although he chipped away at the New Deal programs, his presidency in the end served to legitimize the New Deal. ~Casey

Eisenhower was a proven military leader and very well-known. He had a great smile and people really did tend to "like Ike". He promised to end the Korean War and people believed that he could.

If your 1972 coin is a uncirculated example it may be worth about $5.00-$7.00 because the 1971 & 1972 issue coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in those years. For the Eisenhower series, some of the coins struck at the San Francisco Mint (S Mintmark) were 40% silver. None of the Eisenhower dollars regardless of date or mintmark struck for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.

Depending on its exact grade, a proof 1986 "dollar" (actually a bullion piece sold for its silver content) is worth about $35.

If it's an uncirculated coin but not a proof it's basically worth its silver value of around $13.

Yes. Dwight Eisenhower was a cheerleader in high school. Lots of US Presidents were Cheerleaders. A long time ago, women were not allowed to be cheerleaders and men were instead. Things have changed a lot these days.

Dwight Eisenhower was last Republican President to preside over a balanced budget. He had a balanced budget in 1956 and 1957. Since then, there have been two presidents to preside over balanced budgets, LBJ in 1969 and Clinton in 1998 through 2001. During the last 40 years there have been five budget surpluses, all five were under Democratic Presidents: 1969, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.

To clarify, congress authorizes the budget. Between 1955 and 1981 Democrats held majorities in both chambers of Congress. From 1981 - 1987 republicans controlled the Senate, while Democrats held onto the House and then regained the Senate while holding controlling the House as well from 1987 -1995.

So the question is misleading in that the president alone cannot balance a budget. Congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters.

One point that is often misunderstood is that the budget for a President's first year in office is set by the prior President. Thus the balanced budget of 1969 was due to LBJ's budget even though Nixon was president for most of the year.

Eisenhower actually also balanced it in 1960. Before him there were three years after WWII b/c the war spending had stopped but the taxes and war controls were still in place. Before that it was Hoover in 1930 and before that it was Coolidge 1924-1929 (last president to balance it every year) and Harding 1921-1923.
