Best Answer

a Morgan or Peace style silver dollar (minted 1878-1921 and 1921-1935 respectively) are 90% silver by weight. Each coin was minted with approximately .77 troy ounces (24 grams) of silver, but after years of wear and tear abrasion and such, many dealers round down to .715 troy ounces. (be careful, one troy ounce is a little bit bigger than a conventional ounce)
