The gold plating actual causes the coin to lose value. If you can use it at a store for 1 dollar you would be lucky.
Maybe some loser on eBay may buy it from you.

It has been gold plated outside the mint. The coin collecting community considers the coin as damaged. The idea of gold plating coins goes back to 1883 when the then nickel did not say 5 cents but had a roman numeral V on it. People gold plated it and tried to pass it off as a new $5 gold piece. The mint quickly put the word cents on the back. It was common from the 1960's through the state quarters to gold plate some to sell as a novelty item. This is not done by the U.S. mint. You just have an interesting conversation item and it may sell for $5, but there is less than 5 or 10 cents worth of gold on it. Keep it as a piece of Americana.

1972 Eisenhower Dollar

Well, the gold plating does make it lose value if it were a valubale numismatic item, but a 1972 Ike is not scarce, so I would say it increases its value, but it just changes it potential buyers. Your coin would be more interesting to a flea market buyer more than a coin collector now, since it has been altered. The gold plating is ultra thin, so there is no extra value due to the gold. I would try to sell it for $5.
Just so you know, a normal 1972 Ike is only worth $1.50, unless uncirculated, then about $3.

One dollar. The gold plating adds no value to th coin and if the coin was a rare issue(i.e. S mint mark) it would bring the value down.

Go to a bookstore and look it up. The sales staff can direct you to the books you need to look at.
