How do I calculate the volume of this if I do not know the density.

Pure silver has a specific gravity of 10.5 gr/cm^3 ... now you know.

Everyone else gave you the density...but:
You can calculate the volume by immersing it in water, and subtracting the final volume of water from the initial volume. For example, if you have 10.00 cc of water in a graduated cylinder, and you put the silver nugget in, and the final volume of the water is 10.84 cc, then the volume of the nugget would be 92.4 cm^3.
This would yield a density of m / v = 8.80g / 0.84 cm^3 = 10.5 g/cm^3.

the density of silver is 10490 kg/m3 therefore volume = density/mass
remember to change mass into kg!
only other way is if u know dimensions of the nugget
