6-18-11>>> None of the Eisenhower's released for circulation have silver. For 1971 & 1972 only, all S mint marked coins are 40% silver proofs. From 1973 to 1976 the S mint marked coins in the standard proof sets are clad coins, the 40% silver Ike's were sold separately but they were included in the bicentennial 3-piece silver sets. No silver Ike's were struck in 1977 or 1978.

No they no longer have silver in them. Silver dollars were stopped being made in in 1964 due to the rising price of silver. Due to the lack of silver content there values are much lower than those with silver.
