Specifications for Modern Commemorative dollars?

I've been trying to find the specs for the modern commems, but have thus far only been able to find that they are 90% silver, .77344 ASW, but can not find the diameter/total weight (grams)/thickness.

I'm going to assume the diameter is 38.8mm, but any other input would be greatly appreciated.

    They are the same size, weight and purity specifications as the previously issued Peace and Morgan dollars.

    Thanks for the link/information

    I thought it was strange, when I looked at the information on the 82 & 83 coins, the uncirculated coins were more that the proof coins, is/was that correct or is the information wrong??? (from 84 on, the "proof" coins are more!)

    I think he means more in the price guides since in many cases modern commems have a higher proof mintage than their uncirculated counterparts.

    Sorry, I was talking about the "listed" issue price, as I thought Proofs "always" cost more, me bad image
