Would an Ike struck on a quarter planchet be considered a tiny coin? Would you want one?

Just picked up a new smallest coin (for me anyways): a 1/96 Stater from Ionia that dates back to 625 to 600 BC. The diameter is between 4 and 4.5 mm while the weight is 0.14 g. Sorry about the poor quality pics--I'm not very good at shooting gold (don't get much practice) and this coin is both tiny and fairly scyphate so the field of view is pretty limiting with my USB camera set up. Looks more like a goiter than a coin when I put it onto Roosevelt's neck.
