1972 Eisenhower Dollar Coin

This item is a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar coin, a United States one-dollar coin. The obverse features a left-facing bust of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top rim, curving around his head, and the year "1972" is prominently displayed at the bottom below his bust. Below Eisenhower's chin, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is partially visible. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metal, likely copper-nickel clad, as most circulating Eisenhower dollars from this period were, rather than pure silver. The surface exhibits moderate circulation wear, with some loss of detail on Eisenhower's hair and facial features, although the overall design remains clear. There are several visible scratches and scuffs across the surface, particularly noticeable at the top right field and above the '9' in the date, indicating its passage through circulation. There are no discernible mint marks visible in the provided image, which would typically be located near Eisenhower's neck or the date. The rim appears intact, without significant dings or damage. The overall condition suggests a circulated coin, possibly Good to Very Good condition by numismatic standards, with a somewhat dull luster typical of aged base metal coins that have not been professionally cleaned or preserved. No unique or unusual aspects are immediately apparent beyond its standard composition and design for the year 1972.
