'FG''FG' is the designer's initials and appears on the front and back of all the Ike dollars except the bicentennial reverse design. The silver Ike dollars are worth about 4.50 plus a collectors premium, which makes it worth around $8.00. The silver ones that the mint made for collectors is worth around $4.44 as of June 15th, 2009, just for the silver in it. 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. They have the dual date of '1776-1976'.If it's from circulation and made of copper-nickel, it's worth face value. Minting of the Bicentennial coins began in 1975 and continued throughout 1976.
