[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4537036, member: 19463"]I agree. My coins are better when viewed from a respectable distance, too. tetartemorion 0.2g like Pavlos' coin, it is small to have a legend even if it is just two letters. [ATTACH=full]1123339[/ATTACH] 1/192 stater (Persic standard)? as described by seller??? Bee/bird head makes this 0.1g speck my smallest coin with two designs (no incuse punch). To be view accurately it should be 20 feet away on a laptop screen. [ATTACH=full]1123340[/ATTACH] Diobols are so massive (a whole gram!).
