Not pure silver. U.S. silver coins were alloyed with at least 10% copper to make them hard enough to stand up to circulation wear.

Please read the denomination more carefully. It's a HALF dollar.

The last U.S. silver dollars were made in 1935.

Not pure silver - 90% silver, 10% copper.

Not a man - that's Miss Liberty.

What is the value of a one dollar 1977 eagle silver dollar?

Eisenhower is on the front of the coin, the eagle is on the reverse that's why it's called a Eisenhower dollar. The 1977 coin has no silver regardless of mintmark and is likely only face value especially if it's from a bank or found in circulation.

How much is a pure silver 1952 Benjamin Franklin half dollar worth when it has a man with a sun on the front and a large eagle on the backside?

Please take another and much more careful look, then post a new question. Franklin halves were made from 1948 to 1963 and have Ben's head on the front and the Liberty Bell on the back. Walking Liberty halves were made from 1916 to 1947 and have Miss Liberty (DEFINITELY not a man!) on the front and an eagle on the back. And finally, they're not pure silver - there's 10% copper in both types.

To clear things up:> It's not a man, it's Miss Liberty - as in "Statue of ..."> The coin isn't pure silver. Pure silver is far too soft for circulating coins. All circulating US silver coins were at least 10% copper for hardness.Please see the Related Question for more information.
