You can tell a coin is silver by either looking at the edge and finding it a uniform silver color (with no darker colors) or by finding a dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar with a date from before 1965. They now make silver versions of the dime, quarter and half, but only in proof sets.

Can anyone tell me about a 3-piece proof set 1776-1976 with no mint mark on a one dollar a half-dollar and a quarter?
If there is no mint mark it's an uncirculated set, not a proof. All proof sets were minted in San Francisco and there are no reports of any coins being struck without mint marks (see the famous 1982 plain dime, for example). If the dollar is a Type I (thick letters on the reverse) the set might be worth about $5. If it's a Type II (thin letters) it would be worth around $3.

Where any 1972 Kennedy Half Dollars made out of all Silver as mine appears to be?
No, the last time silver was in a Kennedy half dollar was 1970 when it was 40% silver. No 1971 or 1972 half dollars contain any silver. The US mint wouldn't make silver proof sets until 1992. So there are a few reasons why your 1972 half seems to be silver, the most common reason is plating, I've seen many Kennedy halves, gold, silver and even chrome plated. The other possibility is an error where the coin was struck on an incorrect blank, but there are very few errors of that type. Without seeing your coin I can't tell you for certain why your coin seems to be silver, but the US mint didn't make silver halves in 1972.
