<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1653146, member: 15199&quot;]I found a couple of&nbsp; references that mention the 38.5, ( most prominent was Breen and could be the source of the error~ it was for my understanding), but the diameter of the coin doesn&#039;t seem to be fixed in the act establishing it&nbsp; <a href="http://nesara.org/files/coinage_act_1837.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://nesara.org/files/coinage_act_1837.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://nesara.org/files/coinage_act_1837.pdf</a> nor in the later one of 1878. The weight in grains and the purity certainly was, but I could find no reference to diameter. If some one else knows, please give the act or legal definition. The majority of references gives it as 1 1/2&quot; which does work out to 38.1mm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
