Two posts in one day!!
My brother in law found this coin. It's a three half-[attachimg=2]pence from 1838. Has anyone else ever seen a coin this small? Or smaller?

Nope, I've never found a coin that small, not even a US half dime yet.

Looks British and judging is about the same size as their 3 shilling. Up to 1921 Canadian 5 cent pieces were made of silver and called fish scales due to their small size. Prized finds here. Happy hunting. <;)

Cool find!
My find is not as well documented as yours, but I'll post it anyway. :rolleyes:
I found this tiny coin in California a few years ago. It's made of aluminum and is about the same size as your find. However, I didn't have the forethought to scan it with a dime for comparison. 8/

:congrats: Great Find! I found this 3-cent Silver in a farm field near the Hudson River, here in New York, at about 7 in depth. I never even knew these existed until I dug it. I thought it was a cuff button at first.
Those Canadians and their tiny coins rofl

That's the tiniest silver coin I've see that you found, the two smallest that I've found are the three cent piece and Dutch dime
