Here's mine:

1885 CC S$1 NGC MS65*
Only 228,000 minted. Unfortunately they are fairly common in Unc these days for such a low number.

 

Only 500 sets minted for the ANA show in Philadelphia

 

My lowest, only 54,417 minted.

 

My lowest mintage US Mint made coin is the 1995-D BU Olympics Cycling Silver Dollar, with 19,662 made. My lowest mintage coin made from another mint is the 2012 Daniel Carr 20 Ameros one ounce silver Winged Liberty, with just 378 made.

 

This Daniel Carr had a final mintage of 216 coins.

 

1862 Seated Liberty Half Dollar Proof ... mintage 550

 

I used to have a 1836 reeded edge bust half with a mintage of 1200. Hard to beat that with a circulating coin. My lowest mintage coin that I currently own is an 1888 proof 50¢. The lowest circulating coin is an 1868 $1 gold (10,525 minted). The lowest circulating non-gold coin is an 1802/0 half cent (20,266 minted).

 

1935D Boone.......Distribution 5005.

 

why did you get rid of a 1836 reeded edge? did you atleast sell/trade it for something better?

 

1797 Coventry token from Warwickshire D&H 312. Mintage of 48



I have pieces with lower survival, but this had the lowest original mintage. And yes that is a picture of my coin, not a representative piece.

In US coins my lowest is my business strike 1885 nickel three cent piece with a mintage of 1,000

 

1940 PR65 Mercury Dime.. 11,827 minted..

 

78 minted

 

traz thats beautiful

 

An absolutely stunning $10 gold piece!

 

Thanks. It is PR65+DC (PCGS) + CAC. Purchased as a PR65DC. Locked in the bank for a long time for one of my kids

 

From a quick review of the mintage numbers listed in Coins of England and the United Kingdom, 46th edition 2011, the lowest mintage coins I own are a pair of 2005-dated, 5-pound .925 silver piedforts issued for the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Lord Nelson, just 2818 pairs.

 

How much of the type 2 minted?

 

My lowest mintage coin is a 1915 half, but it one of the most common halves available. Mintage means little to me.

 

Seeing as many others have posted tokens or other non circulating items, I'll include my rarest non-paper money related item. It's a Deer Creek Mercantile Co token from Indianola, PA. Edkins PA- 1397 A-100 rarity R-10 (1-4 known) unknown mintage. Hard to believe I only paid $7 for it.
