1972-D $1 MS (PCGS#7410)

August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1972-D Eisenhower Dollar. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC. A lustrous and exceptionally smooth example lightly toned in pretty champagne-apricot and pale gold iridescence. With a mintage of more than 92 million coins, the 1972-D cupro-nickel Eisenhower dollar is certainly not a rare issue in an absolute sense. However, not a lot of attention was paid to it at the time of production and few Gems are known, let alone Superb Gems. Several factors account for the lack of nice examples; they were carelessly made and had overall low relief making them more susceptible to early wear, especially when jostled around in pockets or stored in sacks. In addition, once the novelty of the new coin wore off, the only real customer for them was casinos where they spent time in dollar slot machines getting all sorts of mechanical damage. Assembling a top tier collection of Eisenhower dollars can be surprisingly formidable. Tied for finest certified at PCGS, and one of only five examples stickered by CAC in this grade, the significance of this offering for the advanced collector can hardly be overstated.
