None of the Eisenhower dollars (1971-1978) that were released into circulation had any silver! Only special collectors coins sold directly from the US Mint were made from 40% silver and all of them have S mintmarks. None of the Philadelphia or Denver minted coins contain silver. The 40% silver coins were struck only from 1971 to 1976.

Which coins US made after 1964 contain silver?
The only circulating coins containing silver after 1964 were half-dollars, and they contained "debased" metal with only 40% silver and the rest copper. Production of debased halves was suspended in 1969, except for collectors' coins. Circulation coinage was resumed using copper-nickel starting in 1971. Some Eisenhower dollars as well as Bicentennial quarters, halves, and dollars were struck in 40% silver for sale to collectors. In 1992 the US Mint resumed limited production of 90% silver coins; these are sold as "prestige coins" at a price that reflects the current value of silver plus minting and packaging costs.

What math formula is used for buying noncollectable silver?
Depends on who is buying them. If you were buying for straight melt value, you would weigh the coins in troy ounces, you would then multiply that number by .9 if you were using 90% pure US coins (quarters, dimes, dollars and half-dollars dated 1964 and prior), .4 if using 40% pure US coins (1965-1970 half dollars, and some "S" mint Eisenhower dollars sold to collectors (keep in mind the vast majority of Eisenhower dollars contain NO silver)) or .35 for 35% pure war nickels (1942-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello) You would then take that times the current price of silver. For example, if you had 32 ounces of 90% pure silver, you would take 32 * .9 which is 28.8 which represents the ounces of pure silver, you would then take 28.8 times the current value of silver per ounce which if it was $30 would be 28.8 * 30 which is 864, therefore the coins are worth $864 in silver value. You could also pay times face value, for example you could pay 22 times face for 90% pure silver, which would mean for every $1 in face value (such as 10 dimes, or 4 quarters, or 1 dollar) you would pay $22. In practice though, few coin shops will buy or sell exactly at melt. Most will pay less than melt (how much depends on the shop) and will sell for a bit more than melt (how much again depends on the shop)
Can you bend silver using your hand?
No, you cannot bend a silver using your hand because Silver is hard, dense and solid. Its sonorous and has high melting point.
Are silver dollars still in circulation?
The US makes tons of $1 coins for circulation, but they're made of brass, not silver. Silver was deregulated back in the 1960s and no silver coins have been made for circulation since then. There are "dollar" bullion coins containing 1 oz. of silver that are sold to investors and collectors, but the denomination is artificial. You can't spend them.
