Yes, only those that have a large mintmark above the dome contain silver

1950 D's are next to worthless, but if you find any I have a soft spot in my heart for these coins and I would gladly trade you some war niks or maybe whatever you need to fill a bingo card for those old 50 dees. :shock: :lol: :lol:
