a pound of cotton is heavier if you are talking about pound sterling of gold at the other end...
a pound of cotton will again be heavier if soaked in some liquid (condition not given)
otherwise as other guys are thinking both shouild be same weight. though the density (mass per unit of volume) of both is different..

a pound is a pound the worldwide around. (to paraphrase a extra consumer-friendly fact). yet, incredibly, it might remember on in spite of in case you're speaking a pound as a mass or pound as a tension. Gravity would desire to come into play and alter the measured "weight" of a given mass so as which you will desire to purely say a pound of substance A and a pound of substance B are the comparable whilst measured on the comparable place on the comparable time (or incredibly, under the comparable situations). A measured pound on the moon could have a a lot bigger mass than in the worldwide, if, say, you're using a spring-working scale.

cotton is heavier because 1 pound gold coin is less than 1 pound of cotton in weight

Gold will have the same weight wherever you weigh it.Whereas the weight of cotton will vary under different external conditions.
In fact marginally less cotton will still weigh one pound due to wind force,absorbed moisture,trapped air and dust, which will settle more on larger exposed area of cotton,etc..External wind will also have an impact on the weight of cotton mostly adding to its weight.
So, if you subtract them you will have less cotton actually instead of one pound.(i.e) one pound of Gold will be matched by cotton of weight marginally less than one pound.

Strictly speaking, the pound of cotton is heavier, because gold is weighed in troy pounds, which are smaller than avoir. pounds.
