In 1950, U.S. coins that contained silver included dimes, quarters, and half dollars. Specifically, dimes and quarters made during this time contained 90% silver, while half dollars also contained 90% silver until 1964. The only exceptions were the silver dollars, which contained 90% silver as well. Overall, the amount of silver in these coins varies depending on the denomination: for example, a 1950 quarter contains about 0.18 troy ounces of silver.
U.S. silver coins dated 1964 and earlier are almost all composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.
A real silver dollar struck in 1935 or before weighes 26.73 grams with a actual silver weight (ASW) of .77344oz of pure silver. So 26.73 grams X 28 coins = 805.28 grams or the ASW .77344 X 28 = 21.65632oz of pure silver
All pre-1965 U.S. coins were made of 90% silver and 10% copper. A standard silver quarter weighed 6.25 gm so that means it has about 5.6 gm of silver in it.
US silver dimes, since 1873, contain .07234 oz of pure silver. However, except for certain collector coins, there is no silver in dimes minted from 1965 to the present .
If it is a collection of 50 cent coins, it could be worth a lot, or not that much. It depends on the dates of the coins and the condition. 50 cent coins from before 1965 are worth more because they are 90% silver.
No US dollar coins were made in 1950
Look at the coin again and post a new question. No US dollar coins are dated 1950. Also no circulating US coin was ever made of pure silver, all were 90% silver and 10% copper.
All silver US coins dated 1964 and before are 90% silver none are pure silver.

Each denomination of US silver coins has different amounts of silver, so it's not possible to answer this question. Be more specific and post new question with the dates of the coins.

There was no US silver dollar minted in 1950. If you mean a half dollar, it would be worth at least its value in silver which as of writing is about $7.70 but it would be worth more in better condition. As with all old coins, cleaning harms the value.
It would depend on who you refer to as "they", but assuming you refer to British coins, British coins circulating in 1950 would include - Halfcrown (Two Shillings and Sixpence)(cupro-nickel) Florin (Two Shillings)(cupro-nickel) Shilling (cupro-nickel) Sixpence (cupro-nickel) Threepence (nickel-brass) Penny (bronze) Halfpenny (bronze) Farthing (bronze) The last silver coins with a 50% silver content were issued in 1946, so there may have been a few of them still in circulation in 1950. Crown (Five Shilling) coins, although legal tender, were only minted for special commemorative occasions in the 20th century and were not seen much in circulation.
