What coin do you own with the lowest circulation

The lowest circulated population coin I have is the 1970 D 40% silver Kennedy half dollar. The mintage was 2,150,000. However, since they were only issued in mint uncirculated sets virtually none went into circulation.

The lowest mintage coin I have is the Isabella quarter. It had a mintage of 24,214. This is a coin that every time I sell mine I end up buying another one. I really like this coin.

The one I go with every time this question comes up is: 1864 Proof Two Cent piece. Mintage estimated at 100

 

Hey Log, I have one of those!
My lowest mintage coins are the 1915 Barber Half


Followed by my just purchased 1996-W Roosie.

 

From my own collecting interests, most British silver decimal coinage struck for collector consumption, has very low mintage numbers, often less than 10,000 examples. The major exceptions are the 25-pence commemorative silver crowns issued in 1972, 1977, 1980 and 1981. Decimal piedforts issued since the 1982 20-pence silver coin are always minted in very low numbers.

British base metal coinage has several years and denominations where there were already sufficient numbers of coins available in circulation resulting in what would normally have been a circulating coin being only made available in proof sets. Examples are the 1972 half new penny and new penny; 1972-1974 two new pence and five new pence; 1972 ten new pence, 1971-1975 50 new pence and as late as 1992, the one penny and two pence in bronze due to the change to copper-plated steel planchets for circulation.

 

My pride and Joy

This one's my pride and joy, clearly my favorite coin. This one is pedigreed to the Louis Eliasberg collection. Eliasberg is acknowledged to be the only collector to assemble a 'complete' collection of United States coins by date and mint. Mintage for the 1881 Proof Dime was only 975 pieces. The photos don't do the coin justice, as the toning is more attractive than the images show. Pastel rose-gold centers cede to iridescent blue on each side, with the reverse adding an area of blue-gray.

 

Mine would be the recently purchased norfolk commemorative half at 25,000. I guess next in line would be my 98-s matte kennedy.

 

Since you added the term print run in your first post I hope that means currency is welcome as well.
I own a couple notes from 1902/1929 when bills were printed for local banks.

Some have 10-20 known (easier with the bills since each has a unique serial number)
The lowest is a 1902 bill from Chico Ca. There are 8 known.

 

i know next to nothing about bills, so does this one have 2 serials? 9241 and 8798?

 

Heres mine R5: Unique [only one in the collections examined] not counting mine that is. Initial mintage? no clue

RIC VII Antioch 89 (SMANΕ), R5

 

This Brazil 100 reis may look unremarkable, but it has a mintage of only 2,700. And somehow I think I paid about $8 for it.

 

Yes, but 8798 isn't one of them.

Each bank was given a Charter number. 8798 was the charter number for the First National Bank of Chico Ca.

(The number 569033 is the tresury serial number), "This number reflects the running total of sheets of a particular plate combination printed for all banks."
(The number 9241 is the bank serial number), "This number reflects the running total of sheets of that plate combination printed for each particular bank."

US Business strike 1885 three cent piece mintage 1,000. Non-US I have a Warwickshire token that had a mintage of 48. Going by known piece as some of the replies have I have at least three pieces which are unique and maybe four or five more that have less than five known.

You know, I would hate to own a unique coin. To me, it would be like buying a new car, just waiting for a second specimen/first dent to happen.

 

Depends how nice the unique coin is.

 

True, but even when the second one shows up, I still have the discovery specimen.

 

my lowest is my 1856 S $3 gold princess. 34,500 minted.

 

Very nice x115. Me likely
