It's winter, and I'm bored...
I know for certain that a bag of $20 gold double eagles from the mint contained 250 coins, or $5000 face value, and weighed 22.5 lbs.
I'm guessing the other gold denominations were multiples, as in $10 eagles with 500 coins, $5 half eagle with 1000 coins and $2 1/2 quarter eagle with 2000 coins. All with $5000 face value and all weighing 22.5 lbs. This is just a guess.
What about the pre-'65 silver coins? How many in a bag and what did they weigh? Gary
