The exception was Kennedy half dollars, which were 40% silver (down from 90% in 1964) between 1965 and 1970. Eisenhower dollars were produced in both clad (for circulation) and 40% silver (for collectors) between 1971 and 1976. Quarters and half dollars were produced in 40% silver for collectors in silver in 1976.
This set the stage for the complete elimination of silver from our coinage by the end of 1964. Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver. In the dime series, all coins dated 1965 or later are clad coins and contain no silver at all. The value of these coins is tied directly to the price of silver. At $20 per ounce, 90% silver coins are worth about fourteen times their face value. A dime would be worth about $1.40, a quarter about $3.50, and a half dollar, about $6.00. At the same silver price of $20, 40% silver half dollars are worth approximately $2.50 each.
