<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 2183312, member: 44357&quot;]As I alluded to earlier this week, I&#039;ve been working on fleshing out my &quot;denomination set&quot; of early electrum. I have several of these denominations represented in multiple examples now (as there were particular types I was looking to acquire) but this is a surprisingly tough set to put together, especially when looking for the smallest coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still am missing the hemi and full stater, the latter of which being one of the more common denominations. I just haven&#039;t found the &quot;right&quot; coin yet but am still searching.</p><p><br /></p><p>The farthest left coin is my smallest, a 1/192 electrum stater, weighing 0.07 grams. It&#039;s a die match to one CNG sold a few years ago as a new discovery piece, making mine the second or third known, and completing my denomination set up to a trite.</p><p><br /></p><p>The diameter of these coins is extremely small but the truly incredible attribute is their weight, with the 1/192 and 1/96 being imperceptible and the 1/48th just barely registering on my palm.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/SmallLine_zpsqwlxjlsi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/AroundCent_zpsxawial4o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/OnCent_zpsjcdrtylu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/96AndCent_zpsoxcgrpjt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And their standalone images, taken with my camera (the above were taken with my phone):</p><p><br /></p><p>1/192:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/192_zpsboi0m84i.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1/96:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/96_zpsqvuckxyn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1/48:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/48_zpsiuuswrxh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1/24:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/Phokaia_zpsvbiebfay.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1/6:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/Geometric_zpsa637bb15.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1/3:</p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/Trite_zpstzs6ve2g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Post your small electrum!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
