I agree with Bob if you are asking about coins intended for circulation. There are many others but they were made for collectors and not generally seen in circulation.....but could be.

I think also 1970 Half Dollars used 40% as well

correct 1970 D halves in 40% also... but they were in mint sets and not issued for circulation exactly.
1971 to 1974 IKE 40% silver dollars in circulation and proofs
1976 had all 3 bicentennials issued as S mint uncirculated and proof 40% silver...
Then commemoratives stated in 1982 with the Washington halves ..90% silver
then silver proof sets 90% there

BUT as stated already...
For standard issues released into circulation by the U.S. mint
1964 for dime, quarters, and halves in 90%
and 1965 to 1969 (1970 ) halves in 40%
