Coin / United States of America / 1972 / N/A / Eisenhower (Ike) Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

This coin is a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar, a one-dollar denomination coin minted in the United States. The Eisenhower Dollar, often affectionately referred to as the "Ike" Dollar, was designed to commemorate President Dwight D. Eisenhower and features his portrait on the obverse, along with an eagle landing on the moon on the reverse side—a nod to the Apollo 11 mission, which took place just a few years prior to its minting. In 1972, a total of 75,890,000 Eisenhower Dollars were produced, making it a highly accessible coin for collectors. This specific coin does not carry a mint mark, suggesting it was not struck at the San Francisco Mint, where coins were sometimes marked with an "S". Its physical properties such as diameter, weight, and edge type are not specified, but the typical Ike Dollar has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs approximately 22.68 grams. While it lacks specific grading details and its condition is not provided, Eisenhower Dollars are generally sought by collectors in various grades, from circulation to uncirculated. As it stands, the 1972 Ike Dollar continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of American numismatics, representing a significant period in U.S. history.
