Silver coins

[misiek]

Which coins(and dates of the series) have silver in them either 90% or 40%...?Like which nickels,quarters and dimes,dollars and halves.I know quarters have 90% silver until 1964,then until 1982 its 40%?? I think, but what about the other denominations.

Thanks

Hello Misek,
Welcome to the fourm,
The only coins that are 40% are Halfs.
Halfs were 40% 1965-1970.
All other coins other then pennies and nickels were 90% untill 64.

Happy hunting,
CC

There were 40% silver Eisehower Dollars released from 1971-1976 through the San Francisco mint, though they were only in proof sets I believe.
