I see some 40%silver Kennedys in the bag and at least 1-1964, 80% silver Kennedy.
2 Of the 3
individual coins packaged in 2x2s are silver and it's indicated they are from the San Francisco Mint.
All the proof coins are from the San Francisco mint.
Any half dollar, quarter,or dime(U.S.) Minted 1964 or older will be silver.
And some nickles between 1942(transition year) and 1945 are 40%silver.

Occasionally Silver Coins make it into stores. This summer I got lucky, a woman paid for her candy at a Walgreens I was at with a bunch of coins, I noticed a Kennedy half because the checkout person held it up and looked at it strangely. I was next, asked for it as part of my change. Value was around $15... Check your coins.

Yeah, silver coins make a distinctly different sound when they hit a check out counter than modern coins do.
