Adding silver or Gold Weight To Coin Page [Risolto]

I was wondering I like to know the precious metal weight of my coins such as ASW or AGW and I know it can be figured out with a little math but many other pages and even Krause will include this for the coins. I figured it wouldn’t be hard to add it to the page of each coin since we already have the weight fineness and Precious metal value. I just feel it will add just a little more information to each page and will help many people when they are trying to figure it out without having to look elsewhere or get a calculator out. Is this something we could add please.

In numista you have the coin's weight, which is the only thing of real of importance and which you can measure yourself. It's also used to determine (one of the factors) if a coin might be counterfeight.

If you really want to figure out how much silver or any any other precious metal the coin has, you take the WEIGHT of YOUR coin and do the necessesary calculation. Don't forget that the permille in Numista is ONLY for a brand new coin, since it's based on the producer's data.

I know how to do it I was just saying it would be helpful to some if they just included it in the specifications.

Can we please revisit this. I feel like it would be very easy to implement and would make life so much easier for many users.

Numista already gives bullion value for people who invest in metals instead of collecting coins, if coin has known weight and fineness value. If fineness is unknown, you are likely looking at old coin that is not good choice of handing it to smelters.

I like to list the asw or agw on the back of each coin for my personal reference. Just because some

people don’t use this shouldn’t matter because others do. It doesn’t hurt to add this info to a page when other resources already do as well.

Hello,

 

The actual bullion weight is now shown on coin pages, below the bullion value.

Thank you Xavier for adding this!
