What a coin with this design is made of
Every year of this design falls inside a period the Mint records as silver-bearing, so any circulated example carries silver. How much depends on the date, because the fineness changed within the run.
Across the years the Mint reports for this design, 4,211,395 50-cent coins were struck.
Denomination
Silver until 1967 and struck only in small numbers since. It is legal tender that almost never appears in change, so most surviving examples are in collections.
