See other post The US never made circulating $1 coins from pure silver, it's far too soft so the metal was alloyed with 10% copper.

Please determine the date on your coin and post a more specific question.
What does 9.25 with a dollar symbol mean on a ring?
What you are seeing is the letters/numbers SS 92.5, this means the ring is Sterling Silver 92.5 percent pure silver. Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing functional objects; therefore, the silver is usually alloyed with copper to give it strength while preserving the ductility and beauty of the precious metal. Other metals can replace the copper, usually with the intent to improve various properties of the basic sterling alloy such as reducing casting porosity, eliminating fire scale, and increasing resistance to tarnish.
