What is the silver content of the 1990 Walking Liberty Silver Dollar?

Answer 1

You have a bullion piece sold for its metal content, which is inscribed right on the back of the coin. ".999" is a relative fineness, which is a fancy way of saying it's a decimal value of purity - i.e. 99.9% pure silver.

Answer 2

In a Walking Liberty silver half dollar there is .3617 of an ounce of silver, so it is less than 1 ounce of silver, but don't be discouraged because the coin itself is usually worth more than the silver melt value. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

1916 - 1947 Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar was 90% silver, 10% copper. At silver prices as of 8-11-2016, that is about $7.20 for the value of the metal. That is not the value of the coin, which will be based on condition, year and mint marks.
