    Probably my 1913 var 1 3 1/2 legged/FS-901 nickel-fewer than 25 known.

    Concerning the '09-S-VDB cent-they are quite common due to a couple of factors-1.-First year of mintage 2.-They were put away in quantity right from the beginning due to the low mintage.

    I vowed to not show this coin to anyone until better photos could be taken, even though my rarest coin is a fairly recent purchase I can't keep it secret any longer.
    Only 900 minted (yes, she is a proof), but the demand/rarity is in the date ;-)
    I will be restoring the slab to try and get better shots, then off to CAC....or re-holder if the scratch can't be buffed out.

    Try old Mads from the late 1960s. Doesn't seem to be any online archives of them. Pity.

    By mintage, I suppose my 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar (140,592) followed by my 1994 special strike Matte Jefferson nickel (167,703).

    By value? Not sure, but my VF 1872 Indian cent would be in the running.

    Emperor Trajan Denarii with Mars on the reverse. Not the rarest ancient coin, but extremely rare in this condition.

    As of now, it is a combination of either of these two coins

    M. Scaurus denarius, 58 BCE (Scaurus was a bit of a show-off, so this has got to be the most boastful coin in Roman history).

    M Scaurus Denarii.jpg

    M. Junius Silanus denarius, 145 BCE. (Nice Roma and interesting ass' head symbol on obverse)

    Not a particularly valuable coin, but my most rare non-error. This die pairing (OH-175L-3a) is R-8 in the latest Fuld guide. Mine is AU-Details (Cleaned), but I won't be picky since there aren't a whole lot to choose from...
