Good Afternoon,

Does anyone know how I find out how much silver a modern commemorative coin contains? I tried the U.S. Mint's website but nothing.

Thanks,
Rich

$1 silver commems are minted to pre-1936 standards, same as Seated, Morgan, and Peace dollars.

I believe the 1982 washington and 1993 bill of rights half dollars were made using pre 1965 standards.
