[QUOTE="cladking, post: 93268, member: 68"]Unique coins aren't rare and unique tokens and medals are a dime a dozen. A few years ago someone found a saleman's sample catalog from the early 20th century with some 3,000 different uniface tokens that the mint had produced. This was just a small sampling of tokens made by a single mint over a several years period but nearly half of these tokens were unknown! Imagine how many of just all CA tokens have no known survivors. With this large number it stands to reason that there actually exists one of quite a few of them. I picked up a bag of tokens a few years back assembled by a hotel owner in Charlotte, MI in the mid-'20's. There turned out to be five unique tokens in it including one that was a unique town. Depending on how you define your terms you can even get unique US coins at a pretty good price. If you use the terms broadly enough, there are at least a few in the clad quarter series alone. How about the lone 1964 clad quarter?[/QUOTE]
