Eisenhower Dollar 1972-S 40% Silver BU

When the price of domestic silver shot through the roof, the US Mint was required to act accordingly. The US Mint replaced their 90% silver content with a copper-nickel alloy to save on the price of silver. The Eisenhower dollar's composition was a large disagreement and the settlement landed on only the collectible Eisenhower dollars containing just 40% silver. The San Francisco Mint was the only US Mint branch to produce the silver Eisenhower dollars, making them a more collectible commodity. The 1972-S Eisenhower dollar contains 40% silver and will tarnish over time if not stored properly. The San Francisco Mint has been in business for over 150 years, maintaining high quality control over the production of all its coins. Established in 1852, the San Francisco Mint was the result of the famous gold rushes that took place on the west coast. Known for this strong strikes and sharp luster, the 1972-S Eisenhower is a beauty!
