Best Answer

An unworn Morgan dollar has a nominal weight of 26.7 grams.

All Morgan dollars (as well as Peace dollars) were struck in an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper, so they contain about 24.1 gm of pure silver, or about 0.77 troy ounces.

The weight of an unworn silver dollar (Seated Liberty, Morgan, or Peace design) is 26.73 gm. Modern dollar coins weigh 8.1 gm, but they aren't silver dollars, they're made of brass.
