The 1972 Eisenhower Dollar underwent design changes, resulting in three different reverse varieties. Collectors can identify these varieties by examining the shape of the earth and the configuration of the Caribbean islands. The Type 2 variety is scarcer and commands a higher premium. Despite high mintages, 1971 and 1972 Eisenhower dollars are less common in Mint State due to their absence in Mint Sets. Professionally graded coins are more valuable, with PCGS and CAC graded coins fetching higher prices. The coin's design features President Eisenhower on the obverse and a bald eagle on the reverse, based on the Apollo 11 Mission Patch design.
