Ive got my eye on a lot but in light of recent purchases I cant bid on it personally (so once again PM me if you can help for a trade of some good stuff).
I love these things...so teensy! I have a (very late) roman minim but its just blank - and with all those barbaric brits minting them I want one with some detail. Ill define minim of anything below 12mm - preferably below 10mm!
Does anyone here collect minims? I want to see whats out there! I know theres a libius severus out there!

I have a lot that I'm still trying to clean so that I can ID them. Some are so small that even with the microscope it's difficult to make out the legends.

Here is a small group I'm working on now, most are Arcadius with a few Theodosius.  I have a lot more of these small coins. My smallest is 8 mm. |

Echizento - thats a great group! Some good detail there.
Can we see it alongside a penny coin? How big is that pile?
