Is a 1979 mint condition silver dollar coin worth anything?

A 1979 mint condition silver dollar coin in the United States is not made of solid silver and worth only its face value which is one dollar. The 1979 dollar coin had a composition of copper-nickel-clad composition instead of silver. Silver dollar coins in the USA ended around 1935 for regular mintage. If your silver dollar from 1979 is made of solid silver instead of copper-nickel, it might worth much higher than its face value or melt-down value depending on market condition and coin grading.
