There were proof sets made in 1974 and 1975 where all 8 of the coins were silver, and proof sets made during those years when none of them were silver. Assuming that your coins are in a set, check the 1 Cent coin - if it looks silver, then all the coins in the set are silver; if it looks bronze, then none of the coins in the set are silver.
Is there a 1973s Ike Dollar that is solid silver?
Solid silver? No. The silver clad Eisenhower dollars are all 40% silver. But for 1973 not all S mintmarked coins are 40% silver. The San Francisco Mint did strike copper-nickel proof coins that were included in the proof sets for 1973. The 40% silver coins were struck as proof & uncirculated but were sold separately, so 3 different S mintmarked coins were struck in 1973.

What eisenhower silver dollars are 40 percent silver?
Some Eisenhower Dollars were struck in 40% silver to be sold to collectors. All of these coins were minted at the San Francisco Mint, with dates 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1976. These coins were either uncirculated or proof. Uncirculated coins came in cellophane with a blue plastic token in a blue envelope. Proof issues came in a proof set-like plastic case, contained in a brown "wood grain finish" box with a gold seal on the back. The uncirculated coins are referred to as 'Blue Ike's' and the proofs as 'Brown Ike's. From 1973 to 1977 are the only years that the coins were included in the standard proof and uncirculated coin sets sold from the Mint, but these coins are NOT 40% silver. Special Bicentennial coin sets did have 40% silver coins.
