Lowest Minted Coin?

Your right you know. If you don't have one, then the lowest mintage coin you have is one you don't have so that coin is now your lowest mintage coin.:smile

My 1960 50-cent in proof with the DDR is a low mintage coin. There may be a few dozen and I have two now.

Also, many striking errors are unique with a mintage of 1.

SAY WHAT???
See me head hurts now... LOL

 

Now those are just cool! Big doubling, as I can see...
Two unique ones, out of around 24-36... THAT IS AMAZING
NICE COINS

 

Mine might be my 1896 S Barber quarter at 188,039, but I have a 1/2 eagle from 1911 and I don't know what the mintage on it is as it is in my safety deposit box and to tell you the truth, I can't remember the exact year or mintage so I can't look it up. I will get a pic of it one of these days and put it up here...

 

Hello tmoneyeagles,

The doubling you see is a die variety which is precisely the same on every coin struck by those dies. In this case, we don't know exactly how many were struck but a few dozen are thought to exist.

A striking error is not a variety. Some striking errors are completely random (like an off-center strike could be off-center any amount in any direction) where no two are precisely the same. Therefore, some striking errors might be considered unique (mintage of 1).

That is what I meant by "unique"
Those are very cool coins you got there, that is for sure!

 

Mine is an 1876 20 cent piece. Only 14,640 minted.

 

OOO WEEE.. That is a real beauty...
Never had a twenty cent piece... Yours makes me wanna go out and buy! LOL

I am glad you mentioned that. Sorry, I know I changed my answer twice already, but hey third times the charm. I forgot I had it, my lowest mintage is my 1942 proof cent at 32,600.
