<< <i>Nice photos of a coin I used to own. After searching 12 pages of our PMs, I realized I didn't sell it to you. Here were my photos. >>
Only 12 pages... No wasn't me, but darn had I known as I like your pics too you could have saved me some trouble!
Not quite as crisp a pic as I'd like, but these darn little suckers are hard to shoot!

Currently on ebay...not by me or anyone with whom I am associated.
Note: I am not trying to slam this particular seller. As stated above I don't even know him. His listing simply happened to be at the top of a search result and is a perfect example of an ongoing problem.
Why can't sellers show me the coin itself? I already KNOW what a freaking PCGS slab looks like.
Not so teeny weeny in this TrueView

No dark side is fine... Doesn't NGC uses a silicone gasket on these as there's no way to prong them?

Most impressive!
I remember seeing an article about a coin graded by NGC (but not encapsulated) that would easily beat yours as the smallest. As I recall, it was a silver coin with the denomination of 1/32nd of a farthing (so 1/128th of one cent worth of silver), and it was so small that it fit between the letters on the NGC label. Does anyone else remember that or have a link to the article?
<< <i>This hekte 10mm in diameter, and about 2.4grams: (from 500BC) - less than 2/3rds the diameter of a half dime.
Spectacular strike!!!!!

We'd have to get out the calipers to be sure, though I'd have to bust mine out of the slab.

Or these from southern India. The two pieces on far right are about 3.5 mm each.
