Answer
Hello Miguel,
The silver dollars dated between 1971 and 1978 are not silver and are only worth $1.

However, the half dollars are a different story. The ones dated 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1970 are part silver and worth about $3-4 each.  1971 and after have no silver and are only worth 50 cents each.

Merry Christmas!

Regards
Joe
