What was Eisenhower's class standing upon graduation from U.S.M.A.?
Different sources say different things. From West Point, his standing was (a) dead last or close to it, (b) in the upper half ~64/168, or (c) #1. Sounds like a whitewash to me.
What religion did Mamie Eisenhower follow?
I think he was a Christian but he might have been a non- believer She was married as a Presbyterian if that helps.
What is the value of a 1972 U.S. Silver Dollar?
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.
Sheet of Eisenhower 6 cent stamp are they worth anything?

Is a 1890 us silver dollar more valuable as a metal or as a coin?
That depends on its mint mark and condition. Anything other than a CC (Carson City) mint mark with be worth its metal value if well worn, i.e. numismatic G to VG condition. Higher than that, the coin would have more value as a collector piece than for melting.
OTOH, if it is a CC-mint coin, its rarity makes its numismatic value many times higher than its metal value. See the prices at http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/mordlr/pricesgd.shtml , for instance.
My own feeling is that unless the coin is a cull (really, really worn to the point where you can barely make out the design and date) I would be very reluctant to sell it for scrap metal. The Morgan design is one of the most classic images to appear on an American coin, and as the saying goes, they ain't makin' any more of 'em.
What is the dollar value of uncancelled Eisenhower 8 cent stamps?
You can use them for 8 cents worth of postage.
Depending upon the type of stamp (booklet, coil, sheet) you can purchase them for 40 to 50 cents each. Most dealers aren't going to buy one or two stamps. With some quantity they may make an offer, usually at about 25% of the purchase price. So you might be able to get a dime for them.
Did Eisenhower's actions reflect his philosophy of dynamic conservatism?
To a certain degree, yes.
On the one hand, Eisenhower vetoed public housing measures, pollution regulation, and two major publics works projects. This reflects his attempts to not have the government be an agent of reform, especially if it prevents a balanced budget.
On the other hand, he did support an increase in the minimum wage, more social security, and he got the ball rolling on the massive construction of the federal highway system.
So, by the end of his 8 years in office, the U.S. deficit had actually increased, mostly because of foreign obligations dealing with the Cold War. The U.S. had a $286 billion deficit at the end of the decade.
The Eisenhower Doctrine supported?
The Eisenhower Doctrine allowed Middle Eastern countries being threatened by foreign aggression to seek military assistance from the United States. Eisenhower singled out Soviet aggression in the document and called for the territorial integrity and political independence of these nations.

Why are 1886 Morgan silver dollar coins not considered rare and others are?
Morgan dollars are no different from most other long-run series of coins in that some years and mint marks had high mintages and other years had low mintages. In addition, many Morgans were melted causing the available supplies of some years to no longer bear any relation to the number minted.
After that it becomes a simple matter of supply and demand.
