That would be the 1970d with a silver content of 40% (ASW.14792) But they were not released for circulation and were Mint Set issue only.
Some 1976 Bicentennial proofs were also struck in 40% silver, and since 1992 "Prestige Proofs" have been made in 90% silver. These coins were only intended for sale to collectors and were never put into circulation.
