What is your lowest mintage coin?

for me its probably my:
1939-S Jefferson: 6.6 Mil
1933-D Lincoln: 6.2 Mil

I have nothing less than that. lol
Unless you count proofs - which I'm not

Mine is a $2.50 Indian Quarter Eagle, 1926, AU-50, at 446K minted.

 

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

 

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.

That is beautiful!

 

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. ) 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.

the proof is a ctually in the eating

 

I wish I had some of this pudding. Beautiful coin!

 

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

 

This is one of my favorite unlisted coins. It has an unlisted officina, and is unrecorded with a horseman leaping over a fallen enemy inscribed on the shield.

A.D. 319-320
19mm 2.5 gm
CONSTANT-INVS AVG high crested helmet, cuir., spear across r. shoulder, shield on left arm inscribed with horseman.
VICT dot LAETAE PRINC PERP[ Joyous (well-earned) victory to the eternal Prince] two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding shield inscribed VOT PR [VOTA POPULI ROMANI (vows of the Roman people)] on altar (type 6e-letter I).
BSIS dot RIC VII Siscia 102

 

1932 Canadian Half, 19,000 minted

 

nice coins guys!
keep em coming :goof:

 

1856 Flying Eagle Cent, S-3 not a restrike. As far as mintage? 1500-2500?, Maybe less.

 

I think mine would be a 1820 capped bust quarter - mintage 127,444.

 

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!

 

US. 1913 S Barber Quarter: 40,000.
CANADA 1889 Quarter: 66,324.
Lots of Ancients
Tokens, with less than 20 known.

 

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