Anyone making a set of big gold?

There was a thread in the Spring about big gold coins. With the recent renewed interest in gold, and the fistfulls of money I have lying around (that's a joke, people), I was thinking about how cool it would be to have a collection of big (greater than 1 oz weight) gold coins.
I don't have a Krause, anyone have a general idea of how many 19th & 20th century coins might fit that bill? 20? 50? I can't think of that many off the top of my head. I'd probably weed out far eastern stuff at first, and wouldn't include the collector-only Bahama or Isle of Man type stuff, either.
Here's a current eBay auction that's what I'm talking about.
1967 Peru 50 Soles, NGC MS65, 33.4363 grams:
And the big bad boy from Mexico, the 50 pesos at 41.6666 grams
