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

When I first got this coin there was no SCWC entry for it. I thought it looked like a proof but as I was not sure I labelled it UNC - I need to change that. It has since been assigned KM#1170. No mintage is given but I looked it up on the website of the Turkish mint where it said the mintage was 1000.

And of course one I never get tired of posting......Morocco 50 Francs.....known mintage of 2

The other one is housed in the museum of their Central Bank

 

Would this coin be Y#51a?

 

The regular aluminium piece is KM-Y51 yes. This is an off metal strike in gold.

 

I agree, its not about the mintages, but I personally collect coins because I like the design. Not because of what country they come from, or because they are high in demand. If I like it... I collect it... The low mintages are just a added bonus to me.

I really like that 1847 crown. Thanks for posting it.

 

Nice coin sakata... Thanks for sharing.

 

Peru, 1966, 20 Soles, Mintage – 4,001, 26mm, .900 silver




Tanzania, 1974, 50 Shilingi, Mintage – 8,826, 42mm, .500 silver




Luxembourg, 1946, 100 Francs, Mintage - 2000, 37mm, .835 silver, Restrike

 

Yes, then the gold one is KM-Y#51a as is shown in SCWC. Thanks for the response.

 

1969 mintage at 1500 for these (1968 and 1970 also under 10K---1968 being the highest mintage and 1970 the lowest).



The gold ones are under 10K too.

This is my rarest at a mintage of 500:

 

Beautiful coins @Stork

 

Thanks--I have a thing for Albania (with no good reason why...just Prime Minister turned President turned King Zog was an interesting person).

Just think how much a US or British coin (or those of the other popular countries) with such a limited population would be worth if they had the pops of the coins getting shown here. I sincerely doubt any of mine will be money makers or appreciate significantly in my lifetime other than based on metal content. But the enjoyment factor is high and it's still a better than buying athletic shoes, beanie babies, or 'needing' a new car every other year.

Even if my kids sell everything for melt they'll be better off than if I had a closetful of purses or bobbleheads. Hopefully I have educated them better than that though.

 

And here was I thinking you must have one Albanian parent and one Japanese parent.

 

Yes absolutely agree with post #30.
