Silver coins were issued from 1794 to the mid-1960s so that's an extremely broad question!
To give a general answer, most silver coins issued up till the 20th century carried a picture of Miss Liberty, although there were a couple of exceptions.
Her picture was gradually replaced on silver coins when the Presidential series started:

> Dimes - 1946 (Roosevelt)
> Halves - 1948 (Franklin [not a president], then Kennedy)
