A Guide Book of United States Coins 2007 states "No [dollar] coins were made for circulation from 1981 to 1998." That doesn't mean proofs and sets weren't made then. So that is all I know. And I could also be wrong. :)
It depends greatly on the year, early silver dollar proof dollars can be worth several thousand dollars, modern silver dollar proofs of common dates might be worth $20 or so for silver scrap.
Half dollars dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver and are worth about $11 in silver content. Keep in mind that proof, error, and key date coins may be worth much more than pure silver content. And from 1965-1970 the half dollar was 40% silver and is worth about $4.50 in silver content. Half dollars dated 1971 and later are not silver unless found in a US mint silver proof set. Note that any half dollar made during 1965-69 is only partially silver and is worth about $3. Halves dated 1971 and later contain NO silver and are only worth 50 cents.
