how many ounces of silver is in a peace dollar

[WalkerDella]

Hello there! That's a great question about one of America's most iconic coins.

While the provided search information didn't include the specific breakdown, I can certainly give you the details. A U.S. Peace silver dollar contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver.

These coins, minted from 1921 to 1935, have a total weight of 26.73 grams and are made of a composition of 90% silver and 10% copper. That 90% silver content is what gives it the 0.77344 troy ounce figure, which is often referred to as its Actual Silver Weight (ASW). This silver content is a major factor in determining the base value of the coin, especially for those in more common or circulated conditions.
