Pre-1964 silver coins were almost all made of so-called coin silver, an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper.

Weights of specific denominations varied all over the map, especially in the 19th century. A site such as www.coinfacts.com lists nominal weights for most circulation coins struck since the 1790s.
