<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 257433, member: 68&quot;]This one&#039;s easy.&nbsp; It&#039;s the 1969 (yr 44) Japanese 100Y.&nbsp; They minted about 325,000,000 of them and put fewer than 7,000 in mint sets.&nbsp; Mint sets are almost never seen partially because they are so flimsy and no one cared about them.&nbsp; Even today the coins in the set total only about $15 according to Krause.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was worth about a 25c US when it was minted and has circulated heavily since day 1.&nbsp; Apparently the Japanese still don&#039;t collect their moderns and it doesn&#039;t have a great deal of value there.&nbsp; It is pretty scarce in grades above VF, and uncs are a bear.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course there are lots of grossly underpriced US coins as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
