Actual bullion content of Lincoln Mint silver medals?

Any idea how much actual silver is in each of these?

If my understanding is correct, "Sterling" means 92.5% silver, but I wonder whether or not these medals are actually heavier than 1oz to account for the impurity? Tried asking the seller for clarity on weight/fineness but haven't received a response as of yet. Wondering what this lot is worth for the bullion content -- probably not $600 though.

    I'm not sure of the actual weight but I'm thinking they made these in both .925 and .999.
    The album would have helped the seller know for sure.
