That is far too expansive a question to be answered in this forum and the detail would go on for pages.
The weight of any given coin would depend on the denomination of the coin, what it is made from, when it was made, where it was made and who the Monarch was at the time.
18th century British monarchs include King William III, Queen Anne, George I, George II and George III.
The dimensions of coins were changed frequently to cater for the uncertain or tenuous financial states of Britain during this period as a result of various wars and other strains on the national economy.
A British coin catalogue covering the period should give the information you require.

This is not as simple a question as it seems it should be. Coins have been used in Britain for over 2,000 years, and produced there for almost as long.

Also, the first dates on british coins came about in the 16th century - prior to that, the portrait of the king or queen would give you a range of dates during which the coin had been produced.

No, they are not rare. British coins were minted that way for hundreds of years. The process is called "Coin Rotation" or "Die Axis". British coins were minted with a 180 degree rotation, so that reverse is 180 degrees out of alignment with the obverse. The practice was gradually discontinued during the course of the 19th century. By 1887, all coins were minted without "coin rotation". Many other countries used "coin rotation" on their coins and not always at 180 degees.
