So I log onto the US Mint's website to gawk at how much the platinum coins are going for ($210.00 for a tenth oz!?) when I see this on the splash page:
Say whaaaaa? The three cent silver coin is the tiniest coin? In what upside-down whacked alternate universe is that in? What kind of hard core drugs has Peter been doing lately, and where can I get some? Am I crazy? Is the entire gold dollar series (with a 13mm diameter vs. a 14mm diameter for the three cent silver) from 1849 to 1889 some sort of mass numismatic hallucination? Does the US Mint even know its own history!?

It depends. Can they make money from it?
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
A three cent silver weighs either 0.8 or 0.75 grams. Gold dollars weigh over a gram and a half.
PS type II and III gold dollars, at 15 mm, are also larger in diameter than 3CS coins.

You are quite right about the type II and type IIIs.
