Anybody give me a fact check on the weight's for the modern U.S. Commemorative Gold and Silver coins? Or a website to point me in the right direction?
Thinking the redbook said there is .4837 net oz gold in $10 Gold Com's and .2418 oz gold in the $5 Gold Com's.
Are the Silver ($1) Commemoratives 1.0 oz of silver?
Know the halves are copper-nickel nickels (1982 Washington Half excluded).
Thanks!

from what ive researched on the silver is they are the same weight as a us dollar and 90% as well.
Retired in 2009 with 300K in net worth by going all in with cash flowing real estate. every disposable penny goes back into savings via PM's - by using this technique my net worth has nearly doubled up.

The dollars are 90% and the same wieght as an older silver dollar.
Rule of thumb, all the 1982 and back halves are 90% and same size/wieght as pre 1965 90% halves.
The following halves are clad
1986 Statue of liberty
1989 Bicentinial of Congress
1991 Mount Rushmore
1992 Olympic
1995-s civil war
1996 Olympic
2001 Capital
