Hello! That's a great question, and it's something many collectors are curious about when they start weighing their coins.
A standard, uncirculated silver dollar has an official weight of 26.73 grams. This specific weight is a result of its composition, which is 90% silver and 10% copper, a standard set by the U.S. Mint during its production.
As enthusiasts in coin collecting groups often discuss, it's important to remember that the weight can vary slightly. If a coin has been in circulation for a long time, it might weigh a little less than 26.73 grams due to the natural wear and tear from being handled. Weighing your Morgans is a common practice for collectors to verify their authenticity and assess their condition.
