I believe both 72 & 73 disc brakes were available. A disc krate/peeler is way more money than a regular one. Check sold ebay auctions but they range from $1500 - to the moon!
Of course , condition of original over restored has everything to do with giving a value of a bicycle.
Disc Brake was "NEW for 1972"
Krates 1972 - 1973
Manta-ray 1972
If you look in the 1971 SCHWINN CATALOG there is a Grey Ghost with a Disc Brake set-up, pre-production bicycle for 1972. There are late 1971 Krates and Manta-ray bicycles with Disc Brakes.
I personally own a dated, December 1971 Disc Brake Krate.
