John F. Kennedy has appeared on the US half dollar since 1964. From 1948 to 1963 the coin carried a portrait of Benjamin Franklin. Before that it had various images of Miss Liberty.
Some continental coins were made of pewter, others of bronze or silver. The 1776 "continental currency" (dollar) is one of the rarest US coins and many were made from pewter, consequently suffering from corrosion of the tin.

The first U.S. dollar was issued in 1794 so there can't be a 1776 silver dollar.If you have a large (38.1 mm) coin with a picture of President Eisenhower on the front, it's a dual date (1776-1976) Bicentennial commemorative. (After all, Ike was born in 1890 so there's no way his picture could be on a real 1776 coin!) If you have a Bicentennial coin please see the related question.The other possibility is that you have a privately-minted medal, token, or fantasy piece. Unless it contains silver, these have little collector value.The first US silver dollar was struck in 1794 not 1776 but if you mean a dual date 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollar the coin has face value only.
The 35th President of the US, John F. Kennedy, is on the half dollar coin
First thing is, the coin is a Eisenhower dollar with the dual date of 1776-1976, NOT a E-PLURIBUS-UNUM coin, This Latin phrase is the National Motto and is on every coin, just look in your pocket. The first US silver dollar was struck in 1794. Unless the coin is Proof, it's just a big dollar coin, spend it.
George Washington, the first US president, is on the US quarter dollar coin.
