Ok, so, generally speaking, there should be no difference in thickness between a 90% Morgan dollar, and a 2021 McAuliffe comem. Both have same diameter, same weights, one is .900, the other .999, and while there may be some slighter thinness, it's going to be an imperceptible 0.127mm difference tops thinner
in comparison the difference of the silver eagle 40.6mm vs. the Morgan dollar 38.1mm is the diameter and weights, and I'd assume the copper weight as a filler material.
With the .999 comem blank, I'd have to assume at 38.1mm diameter and weight of 26.73g, It's clearly not one oz of fine silver. it's more than the silver content of a Morgan dollar though which has 24.05g of fine silver weight.
in other words, the .999 comem blank is thinner than a Morgan dollar, but it's so slight (1/8th a millimeter or 127 microns to be exact), it's not going to be really noticeably thinner, but because of .999, it will have slightly more fine silver in it than a Morgan dollar does by 2.68g.
I think I get it. Seems like there would be a big difference at face value but seems like it's a really small difference.
