The only dollar coin struck in 1998 was the American Silver Eagle. Although it has one troy ounce of silver in it and is actually a bullion coin, it also has a face value of one dollar. The Philadelphia mint produced 4,847,549 Uncirculated pieces and the San Francisco mint struck 450,000 proof coins.
For 90% silver one dollar coins they have about 24 grams of silver.
A US Silver dollar weighs 26.73 grams. Of that, 90% is silver and 10% is copper.

This was claimed of our First President, George Washington but appears to be, at this distance in time, one of those posthumous myths- of which many have been done on Washington- and other historical characters. He never threw a Silver dollar across the Potomac- for the simple reason, even if the feat was feasible- there were no American Minted silver dollars until after his death! it would be like Julius Caesar with a Beretta pistol- chronologically impossible.
Non common? Please rephrase question. Many "Silver Dollars" were struck in the 1800's.
With current mintage data, 129,929,633 Morgan dollars were struck at the San Francisco Mint.
Combined with dates and mintmarks there are 18 Morgan dollars struck in the 20Th century.

No one knows how many were struck but a few 1974-D & 1977-D EISENHOWER dollars were struck on 40% silver planchets in error. So they are the rarest.
Please post a new, separate question with the coin's country of origin. There were no coins denominated in dollars back in the 16th century, but many countries struck silver pieces that were similar in size to, and the basis for, silver dollars.
In 1885 the US mint at Carson City, Nevada struck 228,000 silver Morgan Dollars. Dollars were the only coins being struck at Carson City in 1885 although dimes, quarters and half dollars had been minted there in prior years.
Are silver coins made by the US Mint. Quarters, Dimes, Half dollars and dollars struck for circulation dated 1964 and prior are 90% silver. Half dollars dated 1965-1970 are 40% silver. All US coins intended for circulation dated 1971 and later are not silver. The US has and does mint silver coins intended for collectors including the American Silver Eagle, since 1992 they have made a silver proof set and there have been many silver commemorative coins minted.
The term "silver dollar" is often mistakenly used for any $1 coin, but in fact true silver dollars haven't been minted for almost 80 years, at least in the US. American silver dollars were minted from 1794 to 1935, with many gaps. All of these coins were made of 90% silver and 10% copper.No new US $1 coins were made for circulation until 1971, and none of these contain silver except as noted below. Eisenhower and SBA dollars were struck in copper-nickel clad alloy while modern Sacajawea and Presidential dollars are made of brass.Note - Some Eisenhower dollars were struck in 40% clad silver and sold in special collectors' sets, but these coins weren't intended for circulation. In addition, an experimental run of 90% silver dollars was made in 1964 but the coins were never released to the public.
if a silver dollar is 90% silver it would take 1 and 1/10th silver dollars to make an ounce of silver
silver dollars should all be 1 ounce give or take a few grams
