Weigh Questions of GB Coins

[coppercop]

Hello--I see where most listings have weights of Gb coinage in GRAINS...in order to not have to use my calculator with each coin, I was wondering if anybody has a small chart listing weights in GRAMS of the following coins(I am HOPING for counterfeits--evasive or not, I PREFER underweight coins!)Guess I need the Spink Book. My Collector's Coins Gb doesn't go back as far as I need.

1-G-I 1/4d

2-G-II 1/4d

3-G-III 1/4d

================

4-G-W & Mary 1/2d

5-W-III 1/2d

6-G-I 1/2d

7-G-II 1/2d

8-G-III 1/2d

=========================

IRISH Coins:

9-W & Mary 1/2d

10-William-III 1/2d

11-Woods 1/d

12-Woods 1/2d

13-G-II 1/4d

14-G-II 1/2d

15-G-III 1/4d

16-G-III 1/2d

Thanks so much...will save a lot of hassles.

type grains to grams or vice versa into google depending on which you want. A quick calculator comes up at the top. It's easier than remembering the numbers or having a table you can't find. You are unlikely to forget you are using a computer.

Brilliant..thanks..I'll do that..I still need the "official" rough weights, I'm sure that's in Spink..I'm on it.

Never been in Spink AFAIK. It was in the Coincraft Catalogue and also CCGB but as you say, that doesn't go back far enough.

Any copper and bronze weights are in Peck, except for the Irish that is.

Woods coinage was struck at 2/6d worth to the pound.

Ruding probably has all the info, but would need to be extracted.
