how much gold is in the $10 1984 olympic gold coin?

I thought a half ounce based on the $10 spouse gold being a half ounce. am I correct or wrong?

thanks

Craig

    Same specs as the pre 1933 US gold $10's.

    Aren't 1984 olympic coins heavier then.

    Yes, due the copper alloy. However, it has slightly less gold compared to the first spouses.
