My all-time U & U is the 1894 50c, VF and up. I've seen one in 40 years.

I agree; with the exception of 1967, all pre-1971 specimen coins are relatively scarce.
Some years between 1937-1966 are scarce...the 1953 series has a low mintage, as do some of the George VI years (namely 1938, 1944, 1945).

A lot of good underrated and undervalued coins in here...but what about the
1953 SF 1 cent in MS - 63 or better (good luck in full red!)

If you can buy a scarce coin at what you consider to be at low price, then jump on the opportunity, because the opportunities for doing so are also scarce.
Always keep in mind: value for condition.

Four of the eternal favorites that I have owned (including the one in my avatar pic): 1889 10c, 1893 RT3 10c, 1913 BL 10c, 1947 ML C7R 50c. They aren't "cheap", but with their scarcity, if they were US coins, average guys like me would never be able to own one. In a way, I guess the whole Canadian market is under priced...but price is of course influenced by demand. We all know NFLD stuff can be quite scarce, but if only a handful of people are really serious about it, there's no real driver for price appreciation. |

And include the 1932 Far 2 five cents. A real toughie.

Another unknown, but modern scarcity is trying to find a 1973 Specimen strike 1c in full red. These were issued in the Double Dollar Prestige Sets, with that nasty red fluff. This one, was the result of a nine year search, courtesy of CCF's TheCoinHunter. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/38157749"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

another really hard coin to find is the 2006 P magnetic penny and I'm not talking about the ones pulled from sets. I have searched over 2M pennies over the last 10 yrs and have found over 50 2006 mag's but only 2 2006 P's but they're not worth much because the 2006 P from sets is so readily available
