Depends on the year and denomination of the coin. For coins intended for circulation:

Dimes, Half-Dollars, Quarters and Dollars dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver

Half-Dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver

Nickels dated 1942-1945 AND have a large mintmark over the Monticello (either a P, D or S) are 35% silver

When were silver dollars actually silver?

From 1794 to 1935, US silver dollar coins were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. The last circulating silver $1 coins were made in 1935, although others have been struck since then either as experimental pieces or as special coins minted for sale to collectors and investors.

Coins are not usually silver these days. Since the 1960s they have been made of copper and nickel. Silver coins from before 1965 in the US were 90% silver.
