If your 1972 coin is a uncirculated example it may be worth about $5.00 because the 1971 & 1972 issue coins were not included in the Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the Mint in those years. In general none of the coins made for circulation have any silver and are not worth more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums. The Mint did offer Proof and Uncirculated
coins in 1971-1976 that were struck in 40% silver.

the 1972 Kennedy half dollar is worth 50 cents in circulated condition, or about a dollar in uncirculated condition
None of the Eisenhower dollar coins (1971-1978) made for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins with "S mintmarks sold from the US Mint contain any silver, and that's just 40%. NOTE: Because no Ike dollars were included in the 1971 & 1972 Uncirculated Mint sets sold from the US Mint, typical Mint State coins from 1971 & 1972 do have values of $2.00 to $8.00 depending on the grade and mintmark
Copper-nickel, not silver. In circulated condition, each of these coins is only worth $1. Uncirculated in MS63 condition 1971-D and 1972-D Eisenhower Dollars are worth $ 5 and $5, respectively.
The different types only apply to 1971 and 1972 Eisenhower dollars -- everything from 1973 on is type 3 Type I is low relief (Earth outline is weak or non-existent). Type II is high relief (round Earth). Type III is a modified high relief (as are all 1973-1978 dates) There is an excellent article with pictures here : http://www.supercoin.com/iketypes/
The Eisenhower dollars made for everyday use do NOT have any silver in them regardless of date or mintmark. ONLY special collectors coins sold from the Mint were struck in 40% silver and were not released for circulation by the US Mint.
