Hello! It's great you're asking about the specifics of the Silver Dollar, a truly iconic piece of American history.
When it was minted, a standard Morgan Silver Dollar had a total weight of 26.73 grams. This weight is based on its composition, which was set by law at 90% silver and 10% copper. The copper was added to make the coin more durable for circulation.
Because of this composition, the actual amount of pure silver within a Morgan Dollar is 0.7734 troy ounces (or about 24.057 grams). This is the number most collectors and investors focus on. Of course, a coin that has seen a lot of use over the years might weigh slightly less due to wear and tear.
