wow you just got the measuring stick out

 

what do ya mean?

 

Here's my 1819 quarter, which I believe is my rarest date/mintmark coin. It's not my lowest reported mintage coin, but I think its survival rate probably makes it my rarest. It's also my rarest die pairing, Browning-1, rated at R.5- (which corresponds to ~75 coins). In all honesty, I think it's more fair to call it an R.4, but hey, it'd still be pretty rare.



Edit: I'm prepared to be blown out of the water once someone with one of the non-collectible large cent varieties responds.

 

I mean this is a hard thread for most average collectors. I'm sure there are plenty that will reply but for the most part this is a "eh hem" Measuring stick thread

 

Sometimes it is only a coin that you cant pass up.
Au -XF C2, State III R-6, 13-30 pieces known.

 

1803 Half Cent - C-2/rotated die

Not rare perse but probably the scarcest coin in my collection.

 

Yowza! What a beauty. I almost sprang for a slabbed VF30 1825 this morning but balked as they didn't offer returns and the pics weren't great. Decided to hold out for an AU like your example for my 7070 when the right one comes along.

 

Not sure how rare it is but http://rotateddies.50webs.com/census.htm does not list it with this rotation.

 

This is the lowest mintage coin that I currently own. I've had a few rarer over the years, but this 1877 PCGS PR-64 with an original mintage of 350 currently holds the title. It is believed that about half of the mintage still survives, but it's hard to know since population reports are actually greater than 350 due to resubmissions. One of my favorite coins.

 

I have three Civil War tokens in my collection that are R-10 (unique). Not sure if this qualifies.

 

This is one of the earliest American admission tickets, if not the earliest. This is an important token from the early days of American theatres.These tokens come in two types: ADMIT (in coin rotation) and PAID (in medal rotation). This one is ADMIT.
Catalogue: Rulau E-NY 41

 

Type II Reverse - F-103

Rarity: R5

Obverse: Medium Level Date, Large Knob 6, Weak Head

Reverse: Small Filled S

 

Unfortunately, I sell all of the "rare" US coins I get because people pay stupid prices for them.

My current "rarest" (I think) is this 1827 O-109 R-4 half dollar in high grade. Variety bring no premium.

 

I don't own many coins I would define as rare yet (although soon enough I'll target those). Do have some conditionally rare ones. This 1895 $10 new pickup probably the most so. PCGS estimates only 13k total survivors and only 2 at 65 with none higher PCGS. Mine is MS64 with 75 total at PCGS. So a semi-rare coin that is definitely conditionally rare.

 

They qualify, lets see em.

 

I think this would be my rarest coin, a 1795 S-76a, R5 Large Cent. It beats out my Fugio Newman 1-B (R4). It's also coin I've owned the longest.

 

Here's two of the three - still imaging the third. Pics are from Stacks.


OH165BV-20a V. Heyl, Lanphear Unique Muling

OH165CY-116a Lanphear Unique Die Pairing

 

This is the rarest coin I own:


That is of course if you don't count my S-78 struck on a TAL Token. Unfortunately. it's not identifiable beyond reasonable dispute nor have I heard of another.
