There were proof sets made in 1974 and 1975 where all 8 of the coins were silver, and proof sets made during those years when none of them were silver. Assuming that your coins are in a set, check the 1 Cent coin - if it looks silver, then all the coins in the set are silver; if it looks bronze, then none of the coins in the set are silver.

What is value of 1973 silver dollar?
A simple question, but a complex answer. The series of Eisenhower (1971-1978) dollars can be confusing. None of the coins released into circulation contain any silver, people call them silver dollars just because of the size of the coins. The Mint did make special collectors coins that are 40% silver from 1971 to 1976. These coins were not released into circulation and all have "S" mintmarks, but not all the "S" mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The mint also made copper-nickel Proof coins with "S" mintmarks for 1973. To add to the confusion, 1973 was the only year the regular copper-nickel coins were not released into circulation. They were only issued in the Uncirculated Mint Sets sold from the Mint in 1973. Post a new question and include the mintmark if it has one. Also if it's in a plastic case.
