NEVER use any coin that is minted for circulation! NEVER! US Silver dollars are 90% silver and 10% copper EXCEPT those minted in the 1970's. These (Eisenhower types) are 40% silver and 60% copper/nickel.
You can use the American Silver Eagle which is a 1 troy oz. silver bullion coin and is 99.9% pure silver (.999) the same as most silver wire commonly in use for CS generation. These have been minted since 1986 and are readily available as are the rectangular 1 oz bullion bars (which are generally cheaper).
