Big, heavy sucker. Larger than dollar size.
That one will add some weight to the Holey Coin Vest.
Cladiator- what if I traded it to you and it turns out to be a previously-unknown die variety...AGAIIN?

Hey lordmarcovan, what does your Holey Coin Vest weigh anyway?
But with the date set of holey large cents on the back of the vest, it's well-counterbalanced, so it's really no different in terms of comfort than wearing a normal coat, or one of those wool sport jackets, for example. It's just a bit more jingley- I sound like a walking windchime.

That's an expensive windchime.
<< <i>The last time I wore it, to the 2004 FUN show, my best guesstimate was about four and a half pounds.

Or 4 trips to the buffet at the local Golden Coral

Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
I don't do Golden Corral often- we're more partial to Ryan's.
But yes- I'm carrying around more on my midsection than the equivalent of four trips to the buffet. A whole lot more.
Speaking of buffets and the Holey Coin Vest, I've learned not to eat lunch while wearing it.
Can you imagine the look on a dry-cleaner's face if I brought in the HCV with some barbecue sauce on it?
