The closest the U.S. has to a solid silver coin is the 999 fine bullion pieces sold for investment rather than for spending. They carry the denomination $1 but that's purely artificial. Their price fluctuates with the spot price of silver/
As for $1 coins intended for use in daily commerce, they were never solid silver; it wouldn't stand up to wear so it was alloyed with 10% copper for hardness. Later $1 coins (1971 on) aren't silver, they're either copper-nickel or brass.
