Harry Truman was the President just before Eisenhower.

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.

He was a 5-star general, the supreme commander of allied forces at the end of WW II.

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 was President of the United States of America from 1953 to 1961.
Dwight Eisenhower was first elected in November of 1952 and re-elected in November of 1956. He was president from Jan. 20, 1953 to Jan. 20, 1961. He served two full terms for a total of 8 years in office. He was followed by John F. Kennedy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower served from January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961.
He was president from 1953 - 1961

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.

There are two major types of this stamp, a multi-colored one and a brownish purple one. There are more than 6 different varities. They can be purchased in a range from 40 cents to 60 cents. Most dealers won't purchase a single stamp.

Identify the exact stamp using a catalog. This may involve learning about perforations, watermarks and colors as well as condition. The catalog will provide a value. The value is what a collector could expect to pay for a stamp in fine/very fine condition. If selling, most cases you would be lucky to get 75% of the catalog, unless it is very valuable, then an auction would be worth looking into. The most common American catalog for identification is Scott's. Others are Stanley Gibbons, Minkus and even the US Postal Service Catalog of stamps.

Ike was Eisenhower's nickname. A campaign slogan in the 1952 election was "I like Ike."

The 1776-1976 Eisenhower Dollar is just worth a dollar.

Mamie Geneva Doud Eisenhower(November 14, 1896 - November 1,1979) was the wife of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and First Lady of the United States from 1953 to 1961.

"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.

Eisenhower was a Republican when he was elected President. He stayed out of politics until he left the army. Both parties approached him about running for President and he decided to join the Republicans.

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.
