Where can I find the weight of foreign coins?

I am trying too find a website that lists the weight of foreign coins or coin planchets and cannot find one. Is there a comprehensive website out there that keeps these figures?

    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    I remember (although I could be wrong) seeing weights of foreign coins in that huge publication, I think it's called 'Coins of the World' or 'World Coins', something like that. I have browsed it at Barnes & Noble. Cheers, RickO

    As mentioned before..."World Coins" by Chester Krause & Clifford Mishler will have all the info needed.

    But I think to see the weight, you have to join.

    Thanks for the help guys. Reason I ask, is that I purchased a low risk lincoln that may or may not have been struck on a foreign planchet. I am waiting for it too arrive, so I don't have pictures yet.
