The 'S' mint mark refers to the coin's being minted in San Francisco. On other coins you might see a 'D' or a 'P', for Denver and Philadelphia, respectively. Although, it is worthy of note that coins without a mint mark were nearly always minted (also) in Philadelphia.

Is a 1972 Half Dollar that appears to be solid silver worth anything It looks like a 1964 silver coin not like copper centered ones after 1965?

Your coin is almost certainly plated. No silver halves were made in 1972. From 1971 to 1974 the U.S. Mint issued some 40% silver Eisenhower dollars and they issued a 40% silver half dollar in 1976 for the Bicentennial, but not all 1976 half dollars have silver. From 1965 to 1970 half dollars had 40% silver. Some silver proof sets had silver half dollars beginning in 1992.
