They made 40% silver content ones for most years look for the "s" mint mark or the white edge. Also the 1973 Ikes are hard to come by. In the last 3 years I've only been able to come up with three 73's 3 40%'s and one proof after going Through over 2000 of them. 71 & 72 are the most common 73 was a very low mintage year.
The 76 Bicentennials with the bold letters are keepers as well.

the 72's had three different reverses, type I, II, and III. type II is worth about $100 in au condition worth some research, take care and hh

I just sold about 152 Ikes to a coin dealer today for $1.15 each, so even if you don't get anything good, you can still make 10%-15% on them if you call around to dealers. So I made an extra $30 and bought a proof American Eagle. Can't beat a free American Eagle.

I had 1400 to return once and called over a dozen local dealers. No body even wanted to pay $1 each. No demand for ikes out here (left coast)

Ikes are selling for a premium on eBay as well.
