Weight of gold and silver coins

[goldnugget77]

Is there a web site that show this.
For example the the weight of a Canadian maple leaf is 1 ounce
I think there might be a half ounce maple leaf also.
I thought there might be one site that show all the coins instead of a few coins here and there.

This link will tell you the value of gold in US gold coins and some foreign coins.
If you click on the coin you want to check the next page will have
the precious metal content.

Silver coins;

Also the redbook will have all the weights of different coins also,
and will help you find the ones worth more than bullion. If you come across alot of coins it is worth it to get a red book.

Theres also a book availale, or was, Catalogue Of World Coins by Krausse and Michler ( spelling might be wrong) this gives weights and purity of coins from about 1800 onwards plus any rarities not to melt for both gold and silver coins.

Catalog of Modern World Coins 1850-1964

# Size: 51 Mb

The classic handbook for world coins for a generation of collectors; first edition, 1964. This resurrection 1984 edition by the Friedbergs is not on the best paper nor bound for heavy use and the 3-grade pricing is an unnecessary nod toward the competition: The Standard Catalog of World Coins by Chester Krause and Clifford Mishler. The SCWC is far more comprehensive than Yeoman but to get the same coverage you will need both the 19th and 20th Century editions, price about $100. Yeoman is still worth having because it is compact, because it lists coins in historical rather than denominational order, and because of its numbering system - still in use and the most sensible ever developed for world coinages.
