Only if it has a "S" mintmark does contain any silver and that's just 40% and are Proof only issue, but these coins were not released into circulation. None of the Eisenhower dollars (1971-1978) made for general circulation contain any silver, people call them 'Silver Dollars' just because of the size of the coins. If the coin is a high grade uncirculated example it may have a little more value to a collector or dealer, if not it's just a big dollar, spend it.

They both contain no silver and are not rare. They are both only worth a dollar unless they have the mintmark "S".
This is called a bullion coin. They are made out of 99.93% pure silver. They are worth about $43.27 because of the value of silver. They will be worth the same amount as the value of silver per ounce. See the related link below for the value of silver per ounce.
It depends on what you're calling a "Liberty dollar". All US silver dollars minted up till 1935 had a picture of Miss Liberty on the front. These are worth at least 75% of the current price of an ounce of silver, around $20 as of early 2011, and many of them are worth a lot more. The "dollar" bullion coins minted since 1986 aren't for spending and aren't really silver dollars but are worth a bit more than the price of an ounce of silver. Circulating $1 coins minted since 1971 don't have any silver and are only worth $1. If you have a specific coin you want to evaluate, please post a new question in the form "What is the value of a (date) US silver dollar?", where (date) is of course your coin's date.

8-14-11>>> US Kennedy half dollars made for general circulation dated 1971 to 2011 are not silver. The coin is face value.
All U.S. Kennedy half dollars (1964-2011) have an eagle on the reverse. A coin dated 1971 is copper-nickel and only face value.
A Morgan Silver Dollar contains 26.73g of 90% silver. As of today (11 July 2011), the price of silver is about $1148/kg, so the value of the silver would be (0.02673 * 0.90 * $1148) = $27.62. Depending on the condition and mint markings, the coin may be worth more or less than its melt value.
As of June 2011 silver was at 36.19. This is about what you will end up paying for a 1 oz American Silver Eagle. The price and value will change as the price of silver changes.
