All types of half dollars from 1964 & older were made of 90% silver & 10% copper, from 1965-1970 half dollars were made using 40% silver, and 1971 to present the Kennedy half dollars are made of 91.67% copper & 8.33% nickel
The last true silver dollars were made in 1935. That year marked the end of 90% silver dollars. The next silver dollars were made in 1971. These were Eisenhower dollars. They are not made of silver but rather of copper and nickel.
walker half dollars were minted from 1916 to 1947. they were always made of 90% silver
Proof and uncirculated versions were made from 1971-1976, none were made for 77-78
There were no silver dollars minted from 1936 through 1970. There wasn't a need for more to be made.

Half dollars were never made of solid silver. It's far too soft to use in a circulating coin. US halves were made of 90% silver and 10% copper up till 1964, and 40% silver from 1965 to 1970. Since then all circulating half dollars have been made of copper-nickel, like dimes and quarters. Special collectors' half dollars have been struck in silver during other years. Some 1976 Bicentennial halves were made in 40% silver, and since 1992 "Prestige Proof" halves, dimes, and quarters have been struck in the original 90% silver composition.
