What is your rarest modern US coin

Since I view everything dated after 1900 as "modern." Net mintage, 483.

On my wish list. DL has one now, priced pretty well, but it would blow my coin budget fo the foreseeable future.

 

The best of the best

 

Supposedly the "lowest mintage of its type among modern commemoratives", highest number I can find is 21,335 and I'm not sure if it still holds that distinction. My wife got it as a holiday bonus and I stole it.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the demand factor. The Denver Mint struck 264,000 1916 dimes, almost 80 times as many as that Jane Pierce uncirculated gold I posted -- and a 1916-D dime, circulated down to F12, will cost you double the price of the half-ounce gold piece. I know which one I'd rather have, and the price differential tells me most other collectors feel the same way.

 

Our entire 3 sets of silver Morgan and Peace dollar collection. Our gold portfolio is way up there too. So on and so on... We love our stash, thanks for the post.

 

31,959

 

Yeah... JohnMilton probably wins this round.... that's a $100k+ coin and none of us have even come close. I love that coin, and always love seeing it!

 

Some day I'll have money.

 

I'd take the dime any day over the watered down mint releases.There is a reason that the 1916 d mercury is in the top 100 coins in most books along with other classics such as the 1916 standing liberty quarter, and the 1909 s vdb penny. I doubt that most of the newer mint over saturated things they throw out there will ever make that list in the future.

 

What's the date on that thing? All i see are letters

 

“MCMXV” 1915

 

Oops! Thank you, I'm nearing 50, Roman numerals were still taught in public school back then. I was playing a little joke on @potty dollar 1878, see if he knew what those "letters" meant. My little joke backfired, so i apologize to you.
She's an absolutely astounding coin. Tip my cap to you, sir.

 

For example here is the only FS 69D PCGS has graded.

83' DDR
Est mintage 4,000 to 8,000

 

Better make sure all those little balloons don't pop.

 

That is a farse and really only said by those that don't like them.
The only time that could ever happen is if the coin was subjected to bad storage/environmental conditions.

 

Really?ok don't get me wrong I love doubled dies.

 

Nice coin. I got several of these when they came out. I didn't realize the low population.
