One comment posted on the Mint:

"I was lead to believe this was a 2 oz. coin; a piedfort of a 1 oz. coin. I would never have purchased it if I had known it was not a 2 oz. coin."

The vast majority had positive comments but I have to agree with this comment, the coin was disappointing. It feels small. A true piedfort would have had the same diameter of the standard 1 oz SML, but thicker. 2 oz makes more sense.

^ Always kills me to read comments like that on the mint's site. The specs are clearly stated; if somebody is disappointed, they've no one to blame but themselves (defects, etc. aside).

I agree with you defone, the specs were clear. The coin does seem small however, but that is fine with me. I like the coin.
