Post The Smallest Silver Coin You Have Found


Recommended Posts


Model coin included for scale (top right copper coin 10mm diameter). These tiny little silver coins are difficult comprehend when clean, let alone when still mixed with mud. The smallest (the rosette one) is a half penny of James 1st about 1620, others are a bit earlier.

Great topic!!!!! 

I had to have a little fun here so, sorry for including a copper item which is actually from an earring so it isn't really a coin. Out here in Colorado there aren't too many old coins so finding an 1857 half dime was pretty exiting. Finding the miniature Lincoln penny was pretty fun too.

All were found with the Equinox in moderate to high mineralization and all were deeper than 6".

Nice half dime!  Your mini lincoln reminds me of a mini indian head penny I found that was a VERY good reproduction of the full sized IH penny.  It's buried in the treasure box, I'll try and dig it out and take a pic...????

It wasn't silver, though.

That gold $1 avatar you have would definitely take the prize if this topic was open to gold coins also.
