No numismatic, just bullion, but the best example of each I have. Fondle index was high today for me. I took a pic. :wink:

Very nice! What weight are these 1/10 and 2/10 (I'm still a noob :))?

1/10th and 2/10? Uhhh, no.

Those are 1 ounce coins.

They are all 1 oz.

The silvers are ozs so I'm guessing bigger than 10th and 20th.
Nice collection indeed. HH Mark

So the 1 oz. Phillharmonics are that much bigger/thinner than the others? Interesting, learned something new today. HH Mark

Philharmonic is a larger coin? thinner then right for it to be 1 ounce troy?
or optical illusion?

Re: I was too lazy to take them out of the cases...
 
Philharmonic is thinner and 38 mm diameter and most others are 30-32 mm +/-.

Re: I was too lazy to take them out of the cases...
 
Damn, all 1oz, very very very nice then :)

Attached are some coins for an idea of comparative sizes. The little one is a 1/2 sovereign, next to it a full sovereign.

The others are all one ounce (of gold, not metal) except the biggie which is an Austrian 4 Ducat, which is REALLY thin and contains only 0.443 ozt of gold.

The 4 Ducats are the most satisfactory coins I know of for fondling and for pouring from hand-to-hand.
:yes:

Edit: In case you didn't know, if you get a ruler and go "view" then "zoom" or "Ctrl" then + or - till the inches onscreen and your ruler agree, you can see the coins the right size, regardless of what display you have set.

Never heard of one that size but you can choose from .187, .2356, and .25. The 4 ducat above is .443, cut that in half and you're close.
