Hello! That's a great question about a classic piece of American history.
An 1890 Silver Dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
According to the specifications for these coins, they have a total weight of 26.73 grams and are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The copper was added to make the coin more durable for circulation. When you calculate 90% of the total weight, you get the actual amount of pure silver within the coin. So, while the coin itself weighs a bit more, its intrinsic value from the precious metal is based on that 0.7734 troy ounces of silver.
