Smallest US Coin

There is quite a variety of these.Most are really quite ugly when up close.
The Morgan claims to be .925 silver like it would make a difference at .24 grams.

If memory serves me right, I thought that the Type I gold dollar from 1849 was the smallest?

 

In reality, yes it is but if you look at the original posting this Cent is 3/16's of an inch. It's a novelty coin made for fun.

 

Depends on how you define "smallest". By diameter the type 1 gold dollar is the smallest 13 mm 1.67 grams. By weight the type II and III 3 cent silver are the smallest 14 mm .75 grams.

The smallest diameter coin the US mint has made was the 1904 Panama 2 1/2 centesimo 10 mm but 1.25 grams.

 

Anyway where would u find these closer to microscopic than normal coins

 

Now that's a neat item to have!

 

I've had it for as long as I can remember. I think the 'coin' is plastic, though.
