how many ounces in a silver dollar worth

Hello there! That's a great question. While the provided search results don't contain the specific details about silver content, I can certainly help you with that from general knowledge.

The amount of silver in a U.S. silver dollar really depends on which coin you're talking about, as there are two main types people usually mean.

For the classic silver dollars that were used as currency, like the Morgan Dollar (minted from 1878-1921) and the Peace Dollar (minted from 1921-1935), the silver content is consistent. These coins were made of 90% silver and 10% copper, and they contain 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.

Then there is the modern American Silver Eagle, which is a bullion coin produced by the U.S. Mint since 1986. These are primarily for collectors and investors. They are much simpler to measure, as each one contains exactly one full troy ounce of .999 fine silver. So, if you have one of these, you have one ounce of silver.
