From this wording, direct from the mint's website, I would assume that the non
commemorative coins are NOT silver.

New for 2005, this remarkable collection of proof condition coins is reminiscent of the
United States Mint's Prestige Set, issued in years past. In addition to proof versions of
all United States Mint 2005-dated circulating coinage, this set also includes proof
versions of both the Chief Justice John Marshall Silver Dollar and the Marine Corps 230th
Anniversary Silver Dollar. Presented in unique and elegant packaging. This new, exclusive
collection has a strict limit of up to 100,000 sets.

Proof coins have a brilliant mirror-like finish. The term "proof" refers to a specialized
minting process, which begins by manually feeding burnished coin planchets into presses
fitted with specially polished dies. Each coin is struck multiple times so the softly
frosted, yet detailed, images seem to float above a mirror-like field. This set includes a
Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Director of the United States Mint.

That's the way I read it.

They also make it sound as thought the COA is specifically made for their
money-grubbing after-market garbage.

I've been trying to get this point across to one poster here for a
couple of weeks.
