The value of a 1972 'Ike' dollar is worth around one-ten dollars, depending on its condition. AnswerUnless it is a proof coin or high-grade uncirculated certified by one of the major grading services, it is worth a dollar but I have seen some well-worn ones priced as high as $3 at flea markets. If it's a special 40%-silver collector's coin in its original package, it would retail for about $4.50 using the price of silver as of 09/2008. If it's from circulation and made of copper-nickel, it's worth face value.
