Silver dollar coins (1794-1935) were never made of pure silver. It's too soft and the coins would wear out very quickly. They (and most other silver US coins) were made of an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Circulating US dollar coins were made of copper-nickel from 1971 to 1999. 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.
To clean 1895 silver dollars properly, it is generally recommended to gently wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove light dirt and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the coin's surface and reduce its value to collectors. If the coin is heavily tarnished or dirty, consider seeking professional advice from a coin expert or numismatist before attempting to clean it.
