queston 1: are the Ike's 1972 S dollars the only dollar that have 40% silver? question 2: are Ike's dollars before 1974 40% silver? question 3: are the 1972 varieties (type 1,2, and 3) struck only at Philadephia mint or San Francisco mint? question 4: I have 1972P and 1974P Ike's dollars...it's confusing for me to determine if they are 40% silver I guess my questions are confusing because I am too  |

Not all S mint Ikes are silver, but only the San Francisco mint produced the silver version. So all silver Ikes are S mint.
The edges are the easiest way to tell. If you see the sandwiched copper, then no silver.

Look up a Dansco Eisenhower with proof album and see what the 32 holes are labeled - that will tell you which ones are 40% silver

Here's the complete lineup in digital album form, listing every type made. The 1972 Types 1-3 were all minted in Philadelphia and all are of a copper-nickel composition.  |

Thanks to everyone that responded and the answers are so easy to understand, especially with the images. That was so nice!..I will post an image of the 1972P Ike that I think is type 2, since it's the rarest of the 3. It will take me a while to do that...thank you all so much. I need advice about whether to sell or spend my Ike dollars. If I sell them on ebay with the fees and all, I will probably come out with the same amount if I spent them. so I see why some people just keep them |

Keep them.  I admit bias though.  |
