how much silver is in a 1922 silver dollar

[MacBentley]

While the provided context identifies the coin in question as a 1922 Peace Silver Dollar, it does not contain the specific details regarding its metallic composition or weight. Drawing upon established numismatic data is necessary to answer the question.

Based on the official specifications set by the United States Mint for the Peace Dollar series, a 1922 silver dollar has a total weight of 26.73 grams. The coin's composition is 90% silver and 10% copper, an alloy standard for circulating silver coinage in the United States at the time.

Therefore, the actual silver weight (ASW) in a 1922 Peace Silver Dollar is 0.90 multiplied by the total weight, which equals 24.057 grams. When converted to the standard unit for precious metals, this is equivalent to approximately 0.7734 Troy ounces of pure silver. This silver content is consistent for all Peace Dollars minted between 1921 and 1935, regardless of the year or mint mark.
