Rare coin of yours?

I just want to get an idea of some rare coins that people have. So I am starting a topic, anyone, please post the rarest coin you currently own. Thanks (Mine is a 1932 S quarter)

I have a NGC slabbed MS64 1942 proof cent. 32,600 minted yet there seems to be plenty on the market for purchase, or at least there was the last time I looked.

I also have a MS64-65 Bugs Bunny Franklin that I wouldn't take $100.00 for. I don't know how rare they are but I cherish mine.

Keep On Collecting!!!

Mine is a 1914-d lincoln cent.

 

Lets see I think the ones with the fewest minted are the 1879, 1879/8, 1880 and 1881 shield nickels that I have. Some of my early large cents are rare as far as I am concerned. I also consider my 4 coin smithsonian set rare and yet I do not really consider some of my IHC's rare since there are plenty available.

 

1937 Buffalo 5C PCGS PR66CAM total cameo proof buffalos certified, pcgs and ngc 15

 

1916-D Mercury Dime

 

WOW!!! Would you look at that buffalo!!!!

 

my 1875 CC 20c piece, 133,290 mintage purchased in VG with a small hole for 13.00

 

I guess my 1928 peace dollar, but i wouldn't call rare.

 

1849D gold dollar

 

1933 St Gaudens Double Eagle and a 1913 V Nick!! =)

 

I have a few nice ones. But one of my favs I own is a VF 1799 silver Dollar.
My 2nd fav are a pair of 1896S $20 MS63 64 Libs all of those I know are not to rare.

As for my fav Rare that I own, I have to think about that one a bit.

 

A sandwhich-job 1821 large cent, incuse design of an 1857 on the reverse. Its unique. ;D

 

My rarest coin is an 1882 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Mintage 1,100.

My coin is graded NGC PF 65 Ultra Cameo. I don't have an NGC population report but PCGS reports a population of 2 in Proof 65 Deep Cameo and only 3 higher (Proof 66 Deep Cameo).

This is the coin that I placed an offer on at Heritage but a glitch caused my offer to not be recorded. Thanks to fellow CTer Chris (aka The Cave Troll) my offer was accepted and I took receipt of the coin just a few days ago.

I will post pics of this super nice coin once I perfect my coin photography skills. (Just so you know, I am taking the Digital Coin Photography course at the ANA Summer Seminar this year.)

 

That depends on your definition of rare:

Lowest mintage - 1922 Plain Lincoln (only the weak reverse, dang it)
Fewest in condition - Probably 1950-S Lincoln MS-67 or 1929-D MS65-RD
Most valuable - 1929-D MS65-RD or 1914-S MS64 BR (if it makes it)

 

the rarest coin in my collection is a 1911-s lincoln in vf.

 

Rare? Guess I'll go with mintage.

1884 3 Cent Nickel ANACS AU50 mintage of 5,642
1876 20 Cent Piece higher end AU (raw) mintage of 15,900
1875 20 Cent Piece XF40 (Canadian slab) mintage of 39,700
Five 1872 2 Cent Pieces from G to MS mintage of 65,000
Eight or nine (always forget) 1864 Small Motto 2 Cent Pieces AG to MS mintage unknown
1914 Barber Half G4 mintage of 124,610
1915 Barber Half G4 mintage of 138,450
Two 1913 Barber Half G4 mintage of 188,627
Thirteen 1914-S Barber quarters. Mainly G-VG but a nice VF as well. Mintage of 264,000
At least twenty five 1927-S Standing Liberty quarters G-VF but the VF is cleaned. Mintage 396,000

I think you could say I tend to go for sleepers as it were.

I'm glad you like it! Though I'm not surprised, it is stunningly beautiful.

 

This one will always be my favorite.

 

I have some BU Morgans, and a VDB. As a teen, my budget is low. So I wouldn't count them as rare.
