Hello! That's a great question, and a very common one. Despite their silvery appearance, Susan B. Anthony dollars do not contain any silver.
According to the information provided, the U.S. Mint produced these coins using a copper-nickel clad composition. This means they have outer layers made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, which are bonded to a core of pure copper.
It's completely understandable why people often mistake them for silver coins. Their color is very similar, but they were actually designed as a durable, circulating coin, and the copper-nickel material was chosen for that purpose. So, while they look like they could be silver, they are actually made of a mix of copper and nickel.
