A standard silver dollar contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. This figure is derived from the coin's total weight and its metallic composition.
The coin itself has a total mass of 26.73 grams. By design, it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The copper was added to the alloy to increase the coin's hardness and durability for circulation. When you calculate 90% of the total weight, you are left with the actual silver weight, which converts to approximately 0.7734 troy ounces.
