1978 silver dollar--worth?

One side has Dwight Eisenhower's face, the other an eagle landing on the moon. Is it worth any more than face value? Is it part silver or completely silver?
Thanks!

According to the information I found on the 'NexTag' website, your silver dollar is worth about $39. and was minted in 40% silver.

Thanks. Someone told me silver dollars are worth no more than face value, which seems impossible to me. Glad to have your opinion.

I just checked that source and it appears those are modified silver dollars. They´ve been layered with silver and the eagle is golden. (The 39.85 ones, right?)
Mine is an unaltered silver dollar, and I wonder how much silver it really contains, and whether it´s worth any more than face value.

Hi, YoungHyperLink!

Whether it's worth more than a dollar would depend on the graded condition of it. Do you know what the graded condition of it is?

Plus, is it just a 1978, 1978-D or 1978-S, please?

It is copper-nickel clad. There's no silver in it.

Thanks!
