1972-D Eisenhower Dollar $1 – PCGS Genuine UNC Details (Cleaned) | Classic Large Dollar Coin
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
This 1972-D Eisenhower Dollar, certified by PCGS as Genuine UNC Details (92 – Cleaned), is a collectible example of America’s last large-size circulating dollar coin. Struck at the Denver Mint, this coin honors President Dwight D. Eisenhower and commemorates the Apollo 11 moon landing—making it a piece rich in both presidential and space-age history.
Graded as Uncirculated Details, the coin retains strong original design detail with no wear from circulation. While it has been noted as cleaned, a common issue among older coins, it still offers bold features and eye appeal, making it an affordable option for collectors seeking a certified Eisenhower Dollar.
The obverse features a portrait of President Eisenhower, while the reverse depicts an eagle landing on the moon, inspired by the Apollo 11 mission insignia. Most 1972-D Eisenhower Dollars were struck in copper-nickel clad composition for circulation, adding to their historical significance as part of the final era of large U.S. dollar coins before the transition to smaller formats.
Encapsulated and authenticated by PCGS, this coin provides collectors with confidence and a chance to own a certified piece of 1970s American history at a more accessible price point.
