Best Answer

All U.S. silver dollars minted 1935 or earlier are 90% silver with 10% copper. Then all circulating Eisenhower dollars in the 1970s were made of the same copper/nickel blend as dimes, quarters and halves. Some Ike dollars were 40% silver, but only those sold in special collector sets, all from the San Francisco Mint.

How do you determine value of 1900 US silver dollar?

You'd have to ask a collector. But if you want to know what the silver in that dollar is worth you can look that up at a gold buyers website. I used P3M Refining. http://www.p3mrefining.com/estimator.php All you have to do is enter the current silver price which is shown on that page, select 'silver dollar' and enter the face value. That would of course be 1 for one silver dollar. I just did that for convinience. At the current silver price your silver dollar is worth 8.61USD. Well actually its worth about 12USD. But every coin or gold buyer keeps a percentage to himself.
