    The Red Book has all the information you need. You may need to do a calculation or two to convert the weight to the units you prefer.

    These kids today. In MY day, we had to drag our mouse uphill five miles through the snow to the browser search field, then five miles uphill through the snow the other way to click on the relevant link. And you wouldn't believe what we had to do to, say, convert grams to troy ounces.

    That site lists the weight of all of the current US coins (need to click on each coin to get the detailed info I think). When you get to the silver coins in the lower table the weights will be there too for those and generally the weights were standard so older coins should have the same weight. For example, a Barber Half Dollar, Walking Liberty Half Dollar and Franklin Half Dollar should be the same weight/composition. There are many exceptions to this though when you're looking at really old US coins (pre-1900), however.

    Hope that helps.

    And thanks for your service!

    Seriously (or at least perhaps a bit more helpfully), I found myself clicking through Coinflation's individual entries to get to silver coin weights, and using an old Red Book to get dimensions -- but now I find that Google gets me there more quickly in general, with queries like united states gold eagle dimensions often turning up what I want in the first hit (usually via Wikipedia).
