I was reading the redbook the other day and have absolutely no idea why I haven't put 2 and 2 together, but I realized that all the coins pictured in the redbook are actual size. Why in the world have I not realized this before now?

On a side note, that $50 Pan-Pac gold piece is a hoss! I've never seen one in real life.

Numismatic Forgery by Larson is a must read.
