TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 11:47 am 1885 One Third Farthing Had to tweak the picture some to best show it. I'd like to find some of those smaller Ceylon fractional farthings. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 4:55 pm Nice! Can I assume that is in a dime sized 2x2? Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 9:13 pm No jbuck, it's a cent sized holder. Here's a couple 1998 silver Canadian 5 cent coins in the old fish scale size. These are in dime holders. One has a antique finish and the other cameo proof. I have a cameo silver one 2011 with George V coming soon. I don't think there's a antique one of those.

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 8:27 pm Yowza, so each one is only about 5-6 mm diameter. That is tiny! Nice! Drop one in your pocket & you'd never find it again. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54282 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 8:42 pm They are 8mm. A Lincoln Cent is 19mm. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 8:54 pm Do 4 of them actually fit on a Lincoln as per your image? I thought with the space in the middle, they'd overlap the edges, so that's why I sort of figured out 5-6mm each, even though I did read somewhere else they were 8mm. Anyhow even at 8mm, that's still tiny! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 03/21/2017 9:02 pm Here are the smallest coins in my collection. Going from left to right, Wheat cent for size reference, 1844 mexico 1/4 real, 1895 Guatemala 1/4 real, gold indian fanam (I think that's what it was called. There is a design of an elephant facing right on it.) and the last one is another gold coin from India. I can't remember any details about it but I bought it from the same dealer I got the fanam from. The fanam is the "world's smallest coin" but supposedly these microscopic coins were made for awhile in India but they never caught on because they were too small. It measures at about 2mm. Now that is tiny! Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 10:12 am keepcalmandcoinon, You got us all beat there for tiny. I think that smallest last coin is a large " Cud" cracked die error! Report this Post to the Staff
Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 5:32 pm Quote: LOL, do you think I am exaggerating their tininess? Heck no! I just didn't think there was enough space on a Lincoln for them all to fit. Sorry to have given you the wrong impression of my incorrect thinking. BTW, they're great! life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Report this Post to the Staff
