Based on the specifications for the Peace Dollar series, a 1926 Peace Dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver.
The coin itself has a total weight of 26.73 grams and is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. This specific composition, known as 0.900 fineness, was the standard for United States silver dollar coins of that era. The actual silver weight is the figure most commonly used by collectors and investors to determine the coin's intrinsic metal value, often referred to as its melt value. This silver content is consistent across all years of the Peace Dollar series, from 1921 to 1935.
