1971 Ike Dollar - 40% Silver?

[MentalUnrest]

I have had one of these for a while and always thought there was no silver in these but I saw on coinflation.com 71-76 had 40% marked by them. Were there special ones made in these years that were 40% or do all 71-76 have silver? The rim is clad - silver/copper so I thought that meant clad and no silver?

I've wondered the same thing. Thanks for posting...I'm looking forward to learning.

Only certain proof Ikes are 40% silver (they will have an S mint mark)

Ahh, that makes sense. So no S mark=no proof and no silver. Thanks for clearing this up.
