    1933-D Lincoln: 6.2 Mil

    Lets see:
    1913 S Barber Quarter: 40,000.

    1872 two cent piece: 72,000

    Others, but I've gotta think.

    Anyone know the population of the 1942/1 Merc or the 1942/1 Denver?

    The proof is in the pudding:

    She is actually a bit lighter and more rose coloured than this lousy scan would suggest. Old proofs are usually not my thing, but I like old naturally cabinet toned coins. This coin has a proof strike mintage of 1355, and 8,400 business strikes for 1880. Currently this is my rarest US coin. The problem with it is that it makes me want proof Morgans, and Quarters from this era now:eek:

    My 1772 German Thaler. No idea what the mintage actually is but I can imagine it is considerably less than any of my US coins.

    Have some coins for which a mintage is not exactly known (double dies, overdates). Of those which are known, I guess the Jackie Robinson commemorative unc. $5, mintage 5,174.

    scottishmoney, WHOA! :thumb: Very nice! :thumb:

    I don't really have many "low" mintage coins, as I try to shoot for strike and condition rarities, (if you want to call them that, lol. :D) But, lowest mintage would have to be my 1924-D Lincoln Cent, in XF. Mintage of 2.5 million I think, not really low, but it's what I got. :D

    Phoenix :cool:

    The guy that sold it to me then wanted to know if I would sell it back at... a higher price than I paid for it:) My coin collection tends to be a bit of a roach motel though, they check in, but don't check out:eek:

    I'm still in the minor leagues as far as collecting goes, but I did find a 1938-D Jefferson while roll searching today, 5.4m.

    Like I said, not even in your guy's league!

    1858 Indian cent...1250 +or- I'm told. Next is probably a 1875 20 center at 39000 I think.

    Although I no longer own them, I used to own several with only 4 - 10 examples known to exist.
