It depends on your preference. A silver proof set contains coins made of 90% silver, while a regular proof set does not. Silver proof sets tend to have a higher intrinsic value due to the silver content, but they may also come at a higher cost compared to regular proof sets.

Is there any silver in a proof 1976 s half dollar?

It is possible, but it depends on which set your coin was in. If your coin is in a standard proof set, it contains no silver. On the other hand, if your coin is in a 3 coin silver proof set with the dollar, half and quarter it is 40% silver. If your coin is loose, you should be able to look at the edge, if it is silver it will usually look more white compared to the non-silver version which will have a stripe of bright red (or sometimes pink) copper.
