Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/12/2018 02:58 am At just 15mm in diameter this is the smallest (in both size and buying power) coin in my contemporary counterfeit collection so far. It's also the most recent, knocking my 1924 Weimar Germany ( http://goccf.com/t/277840 ) piece out of that spot. Made of a very dark gray and non-magnetic metal with silvering over it.

Let me see if I can find the links. http://goccf.com/t/319416 Can only find the one. Cool find.

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 06/12/2018 10:36 am Mini coins are a bit different though. In this case the small 15mm size is also the normal size for a genuine coin. Report this Post to the Staff
