kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/18/2021 7:56 pm Wow, that is a very tiny punch. 1/16th of a 17.9mm coin makes it around 1.1mm tall. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 04:08 am When you look at some of the newspapers from the era, the type is so small, it's surprising that everyone didn't use reading glasses! Here is a page with a bunch of 1912 Titanic newspapers showing them and their coverage, you can click in twice to magnify each paper, some have type that appears to me not much larger than 2-4 mm in my estimation. These are all front page only so only the larger type is used and to me it's still tiny. https://www.lva.virginia.gov/exhibi...coverage.php Even smaller type may have been around for superscript, subscript letters, or used for fitting as many as possible paid classifieds ads onto a sheet.
