Silver dollar coins (1794-1935) were never made of pure silver. It's too soft and the coins would wear out very quickly.

The composition was changed to gold-toned brass in 2000. Modern "eagle" coins with an artificial $1 denomination are made of 99.9% pure silver, but these coins aren't intended for spending.
