<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1921471, member: 12789&quot;]<i>0.34 grams, 12 mm - </i>nice little coin - one I like enough that I want one sometime.&nbsp; One thing though, the weight is likely correct but the measurement is so off - no way that is 12mm when a cent is 18mm.&nbsp; I am thinking your little treasure is more like about 5 millimetres or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Athenian fractions are noticeably scarcer than full tetradrachms - they tended to be circulated locally and didn&#039;t leave the region in trade like the tets did.&nbsp; From my experience with looking at auction catalogues etc they appear to be considerably less common - which makes that coin much more appreciable - imagine having something that small 2500+ years after it was issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
