For ANY substance, "pure" means complete, total, and without any other material added - i.e. 100%. The problem is that it's almost impossible to refine silver to be totally free of any other metals, but it IS practical to create what's called .999 fine silver. That means 999/1000 of the metal is pure silver and the remaining 1/10 of 1% is other metals or contaminants. For all practical purposes, that's pure silver.
