World Coins – Low Mintages of 10,000 or less.

Over the past few years I have picked up several silver coins with mintages under 10,000. They are mostly modern, and commemorative type coins, but I am open for other stuff, as long as I can afford them.

I hope to continue collecting these type coins, and pass them on to my kids someday. Hopefully they will increase in numismatic value.

If you have any ideas, or suggestions, please feel free to share.
If you have any to show, please feel free to post them here, and share some info about them.

I will post a few of mine for now, and post more later… Thanks & Enjoy

I have a couple. I really like British maundy coinage. All have pretty low mintages. After 1909 they get really low.

1824 Maundy 1 pence 9,504 minted


1922 4 Pence Maundy 1,609 minted



Also you do a set of 1929 vatican coins. I think they had some low mintages as well. Here is my 1929 5 C. with a mintage of 10,000:

 

Thank for the input @Evan8 I really like the Maundy coins... I hope I can find some at a nice price.

I didn't think about the Vatican coins... I better check the one I have.

 

Some gold, Tunisia 100F 1930, 3000 minted

 

I like gold, and I really love my kids, but I also like to eat, and pay my bills.

I may need to save-up a while for one of those...

 

I have quite a few with mintage's less than 10,000. But I don't see many of them going up in value too much.

 

Silver?

Lets see a few of them

 

I've got one Moroccan that doesn't quite fit...mintage of a million or so, but the vast majority of them were melted, and the estimated population is 100.

This one is one of my all time favorite designs. It's gold, it's art deco, and it's got a big cat (and a sun, though not the sun-face). As an essai it has a mintage of 60.

This photo was taken through a scuffed up old NGC slab (notice the lack of prongs @lordmarcovan), though a hint of the white is seen. It was mis-labeled as a PF and was thus missing from the census reports. The die polish is strong and I must confess I was a bit chicken to send it in for correction. However, I've seen excellent shots of the 58 and the 64 (a recent European auction) and have held the 62 in hand and I was convinced it had the accurate numerical grade. Shouldn't matter but I'd hate it to lose it's 'rank' in such a small group. Finally rolled the dice, and it is now in a properly labeled MS slab with the same number. Makes my slightly OC heart happy to see it in the corrected slab.

Barbados 1991 $10 Dollars
mintage - 750

 

Yow, one of my favorites. I have the issued coin, but have yet to have a chance to buy the gold essay. Very nice!

 

Steve, I love your Israeli coins!!

 

Not a lot of silver. Some of them are proofs (like my avatar) with mintage's just over 1000.

 

Every photo in this thread, these are very special and beautiful coins. Good job people. I can't explain it, but the 1922 4 pence stands out for me.

 

mrbreeze, I have a some of Barbados BU specimen sets with low mintages such as 1976 MS4-996 mintage-1977 MS5-468 mintage-1978 MS6-517 mintage-1979 MS7-523 mintage-1980 MS8-649 mintage-1981 MS9-327 mintage. Plus I have other oceanic island nation coins and sets

Steve66, I also have some Philippines coin sets with mintages of 10,000 or less. 1980-MS13-7 pcs and 1981-MS14-8 pcs. Chip

 

Singapore, 1973, $10, mintage - 5000, 40mm, .900 silver, proof

 

I would second that opinion. Its not about mintage at all but more importantly, the demand for and desirability of the coin. Prices of coins from countries where there is not much of a demand from collectors will stagnate at a certain level whereas coins with much higher mintage figures but from collectable countries like US, GB (including Scotland and Ireland), Germany, France, Russia etc will command much higher prices, even with larger mintage numbers, than the less collectable ones.

My avatar coin has a recorded mintage of 932 but a half decent example will cost $$$$.



Another very popular Silver coin is the 1847 Gothic Crown (mintage of 800).
