I believe you are referring to a Wolf spider, i just encountered such and immediately started to look it up. This description is the only thing that i could find. Silvery back can occur it was non-aggressive unlike a brown recluse in other words. A small amount larger than a Half-dollar.

One spider that could fit that description is the Black Widow spider. If it is a glossy-black spider and has a red marking on it's abdomen, it's a Black Widow spider. If you can, check the underside of the abdomen for a red marking in the shape of an hourglass. Be careful! These Spiders are very poisonous and do pose a threat to humans.
