U.S. Commemoratives Weight

[exbingoaddict]

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.

So we're looking at little over 24 grams silver in U.S. Silver Dollar Com's?

I have a 1987 Constitution Silver dollar,and was wondering the same thing. 90% 0.76 troy.

im 99% certain that all the commem dollars are 90%, some of the commem halves are clad so watch for that.

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
