A Morgan silver dollar, which was minted in the United States from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Each coin weighs approximately 26.73 grams, and the amount of silver in each coin is about 24.057 grams. The copper content in the coin is used to give it strength and durability, as pure silver is relatively soft and would be prone to damage from regular handling.
