It's easy to tell 1972 Ike dollars apart. If it has no mint mark or a D above the date, it's made of copper-nickel and is worth face value to maybe $1.25 in circulated condition. If it has an S mint mark it's made of 40% clad silver and might be worth about $7, mostly for its silver content.

Some other years saw more varieties, but even so they're still simple to tell apart. The silver issues are lighter in color than the copper-nickel ones. Also the edge on a copper-nickel dollar will plainly show its copper color, while the edge on a silver-clad coin will be somewhat grayish.

Please turn your coin over and look at the denomination on the back. JFK is on the half dollar, not the dollar or quarter.Plus, all circulating half dollars dated 1971 and later were struck in cupronickel, not silver. Look at the edge. You can see the copper core quite clearly.

Bicentenial silver dollar?

i dont know what you question is about the silver dollar but i am asuming you would like to know a little about it. The bicentenial silver dollar was circulated in the year 1976 as an anniversary. It's value can range on the grade of the coin, however in good condition is worth about 5.00-7.00. In (ok) condition is worth about (1.50-4.00). I hope that will let you know a little bit more about the 1976 Bicentenial Silver Dollar.
