<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3226717, member: 96864&quot;]I started collecting US coins in Kindergarten and thought that the 3-cent silvers were delightfully small coins. If you had shown me some Greek fractions back then my mind would have been blown!</p><p><br /></p><p>On left is a remarkably detailed 4mm Hemitetartemorion (or minuscule fraction of a stater) from Kyzicus in Mysia, 0.09g. The smallest and most detailed Kyzicus fraction I&#039;ve yet come across. </p><p><br /></p><p>On right is a more nuggety 4mm, &quot;Lesbos, Uncertain&quot; Billon 1/48 or 1/72 stater depicting an eye, 0.14g. Just a moment ago I was poking around and found the same coin (the curved tear-duct corner of the eye is also present on mine, just doesn&#039;t show well) that sold for 525 euros (!?!) in a Pecunem auction: <a href="https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=875&amp;lot=335" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=875&amp;lot=335" rel="nofollow">https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&amp;sid=875&amp;lot=335</a></p><p>Not sure if some billionaire oil sheik was responsible or if they are actually that rare. Got it for free so either way the price was right.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]841394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]841395[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=78244]@TypeCoin971793[/USER] What are the specs on that tiny Chinese coin? And is that Zincoln a die-clash? Never seen such a small cash (1/100th cash? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
