Terry, tuning pins come in common sizes from 1/0 (.276) to 7/0 (.306) and in 
lengths  of 2", 2 1/4", 2 3/8" and 2 1/2", again standard common.
 I don't know what size is exactly considered "oversized" but I would 
personally consider anything over 2/0 oversize, as 1/0 and 2/0 are the 
industry standard (I think?)
  An oversized pin is not needful for use as a 'dummy' pin for making coils.
