Modern "silver eagle" coins are 99.9% silver, which is about as close as you can get to pure silver using normal refining techniques.

Old silver $1 coins (1935 and earlier) are sometimes confused with modern eagles, but they're not the same. They were made of 90% silver to stand up to circulation wear, and contain about 24 gm of pure silver with the remainder being copper.
