1953 no arrows h 10 mintage 138,000 then most melted due to the coins weight in spot silver was worth more than face value.
Not my photo, my purchased-from-the-Mint example is in the SDB: Uncirculated, mintage 3,338, even lower than the proof. No one cares. It trades a little bit above melt.
My 1884 Seated Liberty quarter proof, graded PCGS PR62, is by far the lowest mintage coin in my collection with only 875 pieces produced. It isn’t a key date, but all Seated Liberty proofs have minuscule mintages.
Sorry I am not a D Carr fan....at all ! Would rather see posts of REAL coins medals etc....minted by a legitimate goverment posted in the thread. Thats mintages were caused or due to historical reasons.
