Nice find, even if it is clad.
From 1971 on, no coins for general circulation contain silver.
From 1965 to 1970, the half dollar was 40% silver. Quarters and dimes from those years are copper nickel clad and contain no silver.
From 1964 on back the half was 90% silver, just like the dime, quarter and dollar coins.
Keep swinging and find a silver one.
