    As much as I love history, I am usually not interested in ancients. But that tiny stater looks great.

    Edited to add: These are electrum, which is cool. But I guess it's the presentation in the slab that stands out to me. Reading about this, I learned a few new things. Thanks!

    Tiniest coin I've seen. And we thought Roosevelt dimes were small...even more diminutive than the Charbneau Golden Gate Exposition dollars:

    Wow... that is tiny.... Without the slab, a sneeze while handling it could make it permanently disappear....I have gold nuggets bigger than that....Cheers, RickO

    Good grief that's small! I would be afraid it would bend by putting it in the holder. Is this the same one that's on eBay for $995?

    I'm looking for a silver center out of a 1795 dollar or a 1792 Silver Center cent.

    Well the hole in plastic looked easy to drill for NGC...1/2 drill bit...

    It is the same coin, but the photos are not from eBay. Here are the close ups from eBay to compare:

    Cool thread! Cool coin! That close-up reminds you of another unusual coin.
