All others have some form of copper-nickel in.
The US didn't make any silver coins in 1979. The last circulating silver dimes and quarters were dated 1964, and the last silver halves made for circulation were dated 1969.
With a date of 1979 the coin has no silver in it. 1969 was the last 40% silver circulating US half dollar. The coin is worth 50 cents.

If you have a "Silver Coin" dated 1816, it's not a U.S. coin. The only coin issued by the United States in 1816 was a Large Cent.
The last circulating silver U.S. coin was the 1969 half dollar.
If it's dated 1971 or later, there are so many of them they won't be worth more than face value. If it's dated 1969 or earlier it depends on what the price of silver does and the coin's specific date and mint mark.
