If you are referring to the fabled 1964 Peace dollars that the Mint struck as a political and financial favor to the silver lobby, they contained the same amount as other standard silver coins - 90%; the rest was copper. In addition they reportedly used the same dies as earlier Peace dollars so they had an identical design.
The price of silver skyrocketed shortly after these coins were minted so they were never released. Supposedly all were melted but reports persist that one or two were hidden and are in private hands. If so, they would be worth millions each.
