[SanSteven]

The provided search results do not contain the specific information needed to answer your question. However, based on general knowledge, the weight of a "silver dollar" in ounces depends on which type of coin you are referring to, as the term can describe different U.S. coins.

For classic U.S. silver dollars, such as the Morgan Dollar (minted 1878-1904, 1921) and the Peace Dollar (minted 1921-1935), the composition is 90% silver and 10% copper. These coins have a total weight of 26.73 grams. The actual silver weight within the coin is approximately 0.7734 troy ounces. It is important to note that precious metals are measured in troy ounces, which are slightly heavier than the standard (avoirdupois) ounce.

If you are referring to the modern American Silver Eagle, which is a bullion coin first minted in 1986, its weight is much more straightforward. The American Silver Eagle contains exactly one troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Its total weight is 31.103 grams, all of which is pure silver. Therefore, the answer varies significantly based on the specific silver dollar in question.
