is a 1972 silver dollar worth more than a dollar

[DiQuinn]

Hello! That's a great question, and it's a common point of confusion for the 1972 Eisenhower dollar. The provided search results unfortunately didn't contain the specific details needed to answer, but I can help with some general information.

The short answer is that it really depends on which version of the 1972 dollar you have.

Most 1972 Eisenhower dollars that were made for circulation are not actually silver. They are composed of a copper-nickel clad and are generally only worth their face value of one dollar, unless they are in exceptionally pristine condition.

However, the U.S. Mint also produced special versions for collectors that do contain 40% silver. These coins were minted in San Francisco and will have an "S" mint mark on them. These silver versions are definitely worth more than a dollar. Their value is tied to the current price of silver as well as their condition, which affects their desirability for collectors.

To tell them apart, you can look at the edge of the coin. If you see a distinct copper-colored stripe, it's the standard clad coin. If the edge is a solid silver color, you likely have the more valuable 40% silver collector's version.
