None of the coins released for circulation have any silver. People call them silver dollars just because of the size of the coins. Only special collectors coins sold from the Mint had any silver.

No, none of them are pure silver and the vast majority of them contain no silver. The only Eisenhower dollars that contain any silver (and that is 40% silver) are coins released in some mint sets. Unless your coin has an "S" mintmark (and even then, few "S" mintmark coins contain silver) your coin is simply copper-nickel and contains no silver.

None of the Eisenhower's released for circulation have silver. For 1971 & 1972 only, all S mint marked coins are 40% silver. 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.

Only the ones minted from '71 - '74 and in '76. They had 40% silver in them. However, they were not released for general for circulation; they came either "uncirculated" or "proof". Thanks.

Some do, but only certain collectible versions minted in San Francisco. Absolutely no circulating Eisenhower dollars from Philadelphia or Denver contain any silver.
