1.5 Pence - 12 mm
I sent my tinest coin to NGC. It received a Details grade

 

11 MM 1 Gram

 

1851 Gold Dollar, 12.7mm in diameter.

 

My smallest are probably these Netherlands 10c at 15mm. Crappy pic.

These are all smaller than a US dime but I'd have to look them up again.

 

The 1797 half dime, diameter 16.5 mm. Given the technology of the time, can you imagine getting this much detail on a coin this size?



1797 silver dollar, diameter 40 mm

 

WOW! Those are expensive coins today, no? 1797 Draped Bust Half Dime 16 Stars Coin Value Prices, Photos & Info

 

Yes, they are expensive. The half dime is graded AU-53. It would have been an AU-58 except for the scratch on the bust. The dollar is graded EF-45. They don’t come any better than that for the grade.

Funny, the coin pictured in your half dime price guide is a dime, not a half dime. The major die break over the date is the give away.

 

Austrian 10K

 

These are not rare or in great condition, which is why I can afford them, but they are definitely "mini" and with maxi history. Hard to believe they could use them without losing them.

I believe this is probably a Phoenician imitation of Athenian tritartemorion, 8 mm, .56 g,

Phokia trihemitartemorion, head of griffin/incus square, c. 500 BC, 7 x 5 mm, .27 g


Caria Halicarnasus, c. 380 BC, tetartemorion, Ram's head/Lion's head, 6 mm, .2 g.


Neandria, c. 550 BC, Corinthian Helmet/incus square, <5 mm, .08 g.

 

Not a small coin, but small date and small letters

 

How about a teeny tiny quarter

 

Cool! What is that top coin though? Is that Russian?

 

Yep,
Russia: Peter the Great silver Wire Kopek

 

I'd lose all my money being so small. Then I'd lose my Marbles stuck in Siberia.
